Lunch clubs for the elderly in England: a study.
The nutritional status of the elderly is cause for concern in Canada. Persons aged 65 and over are particularly vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies. It is increasingly difficult for elderly persons, with their limited incomes and decreasing physical capacities, to satisfy a need for companionship at mealtimes and a desire for independence. This study analyses lunch clubs for the elderly in England. It is hoped that the results of the study will provide practical information for care providers who wish to improve the level of nutrition of the elderly in Canada through maximum use of the resources within the elderly community itself.
