Nutrition
Program Information
With the aging of the U.S. population, increased attention is
being given to delivering health and related services to older
persons in the community. Since adequate nutrition is critical
to health, functioning, and the quality of life, it is an important
component of home and community-based services for older people.
The Administration on Aging’s (AoA) Elderly Nutrition Program
provides grants to support nutrition services to older people
throughout the country. The Elderly Nutrition Program, authorized
under Title III, Grants for State and Community Programs on Aging,
and Title VI, Grants for Native Americans, under the Older Americans
Act, is intended to improve the dietary intakes of participants
and to offer participants opportunities to form new friendships
and to create informal support networks.
