Occupational Therapy and Dietitian Services to Reduce Fall Risk for Home-Delivered Meal Clients
This study is looking at different ways to help older adults who receive home-delivered meals reduce their risk of falling. Researchers want to see if adding services from a registered dietitian (who provides nutrition counseling) or an occupational therapist (who helps with home safety and fall prevention strategies), or both, to home-delivered meals is more effective than just receiving meals alone. You might be able to join if you are over 60, unable to leave your home safely to get meals, don't have a caregiver to prepare meals, and have a working freezer and microwave/oven. The study will measure how these services impact your confidence in avoiding falls over six months. The current status of this study is unclear.
