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. |
