Meals aond Wheels is a well-known organization that has been serving many elderly individuals throughout the United States Of America. Many elderly individuals lack the proper nutrition because they are unable to access food on their own. Elderly individuals twhato are enrolled in the program Meals aond Wheels, program receive food brought directly to their door. With this government -funded program, many seniors can receive proper nutrietiont weekly. In completing this presentation, we learned that even though a great program such as Meals aond Wheals exists, many factors still exist inthat preventing the elderly individuals from getting the proper nutrition. In evaluating, and analyzing, Meals aond Wheels,' northeastern and southern regions' menus, we concluded that both areas could use some modification when it comes to their menu. Using ChoosingMypPlate as a reference, we created an example of a modified menu. We believed that the modified menu would give better nutritional results, thean the original menu. Also, many seniors in our focus culture area, Hispanic elders, still experiences the lack of access to food. Many food programs are widely available, but barriers such as language, culture and beliefs, and lack of legal status, prevent them from receiving the benefit. We believe that language is the biggest factor in limiting Hispanic seniors from the programs such as Meals aond Wheels. It is tough to receive these services funded by the government, when Hispanic seniors can't read, or speak, and communicate English effiectivently. As future nurses, it is important to be knowledgeable of the organizations such as Meals aond Wheels. It is also important that we evaluate the food that is being served to our elderly spatieniorts. In completing this presentation, we discovered that it is not certain that all menus will provide the optimal nutrition for our the elderly. Also, it is important for nurses to advocate for those who may experiences barriers from receiving optimal healthcare. In doing so, we will help decrease to health disparities, and to increasinge the number of healthy individuals in all cultures.
