  Aging Well Village - Eating Well - Growing Older, Eating Better
Older people who find themselves single after many years of living with another person may find it difficult to be alone, especially at mealtimes.
Special diets often require extra effort, but older people may instead settle for foods that are quick and easy to prepare, such as frozen dinners, canned foods, lunch meats, and others that may provide too many calories, or contain too much fat and sodium for their needs.
In some cases, they may help see that the older person is moved to an environment, such as their home, an assisted-living facility, or a nursing home, that can help ensure that the older person gets proper nutrition.

 Growing Older, Eating Better
Many older people may find help under the Older Americans Act, which provides nutrition and other services that target older people who are in greatest social and economic need.
While these nutrition programs target poor people, they are available to other older people regardless of income, according to Jean Lloyd, a registered dietitian and the national nutritionist with the Administration on Aging.
The meals provide not only good nutrition, but they also give older people a chance to socialize--a key factor in preventing the adverse nutritional effects of social isolation and a way of keeping people actively and socially engaged.

 The Joys and Sorrows of Growing Older
In verse 2 Solomon mentions that the sun, moon, and stars "grow dark." The word "while" is better translated "before." We need to think about God and eternal destinies before the sun, moon, and stars grow dark.
Solomon goes on to say (in verse 4) that older people "rise up at the voice of the bird"--but it is not because they hear the birds; it is because they simply cannot sleep.
Older people are often afraid of heights (verse 5) and they fear going out on the street (going "in the way") because they are afraid of falling or tripping over some unseen object.

 Council for Older Adults of Delaware County
While formally incorporated in June of 1992, the organization's origins can be traced to over a year earlier when a group of concerned citizens, service providers, older adults and elected officials came together and began talking about the needs of the growing older population in Delaware County.
The result of these factors was that many local older adults found that nursing home care was the first and most viable option when they were having difficulties living at home.
As the community examined these issues and began to understand how quickly our local older population was increasing in size, it became clear that action was needed to both increase the amount and quality of community-based care.
