“…The Elderly Nutrition Program (ENP) provides home-delivered and congregate meals along with other nutrition- and health-related services to about 7% of the overall older population, including an estimated 20% of the nation's poor elders (1). Ambulatory and homebound ENP participants are better nourished and achieve higher levels of socialization than non-participants (1).…”

“…Ambulatory and homebound ENP participants are better nourished and achieve higher levels of socialization than non-participants (1). Because most older persons tend to stay in their neighborhoods, usually within a 10-block radius of their homes (2), the home-delivered meals program is aimed especially at serving a homebound population who cannot easily get to a senior center for meals and have difficulty shopping or cooking due to limitations on mobility resulting from physical and=or mental health problems.…”

For home-delivered meals to have a beneficial impact on older persons, it is important that both delivery of services and use by older persons are adequate. From November 2004 to February 2005, we conducted a random-sample telephone survey of 1505 New York City home-delivered meals recipients, asking them about adequacy of and satisfaction with delivery of services and use of meal services. Fourteen percent of recipients relied solely on program food. Two-thirds prepared other foods themselves. Consumption of fruit, vegetables, and milk was low; 14–20% of recipients consumed each of these less than 1 time per day. Most recipients saw (and about half talked with) the meal deliverer most of the time. Most could contact the meal provider agency, but had not done so. A second stratified sample of 500 meal recipients was surveyed in June 2006 regarding satisfaction with food packaging and labels, food acquisition, meal delivery, and meal variety. About three-fourths of recipients reported satisfaction most of the time with the meals in terms of taste, variety, ease of preparation, healthfulness, and fit to religious or cultural needs. The most satisfied recipients were those who were receiving hot meals, food-secure, without hearing problems, frailer, in better emotional health, with informal social support, and more religious.

“…Nearly half of the studies (n=39) represent a cross-sectional single point in time (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56). Thirty-two of these cross-sectional studies report on a single sample (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46), and with the exception of one national sample (32), the samples were drawn from areas smaller than or equivalent to individual US states.…”

“…Of note, with the exception of the Millen et al (32) and Corson et al (83) articles which appeared in peer-reviewed journals, we did not include any reports that were commissioned by either the Administration on Aging or, more recently, the Administration for Community Living to conduct a program evaluation of the OAA Nutrition Services. Since the start of the nutrition program, Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. has conducted two such evaluations and is currently conducting a third related to costs (99, 100,101, 102, 103, 104).…”

Participation in home-delivered meals programs may contribute to the health and independence of older adults living in the community, especially those who are food insecure or those who are making transitions from acute, subacute, and chronic care settings to the home. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive and systematic review of ALL studies related to home-delivered meals in order to shed light on the state of the science. A complete review of articles appearing in PubMed using the Keyword “Meal” was conducted; and titles, abstracts, and full-texts were screened for relevance. Included in this review are 80 articles. Most studies are descriptive and do not report on outcomes. Frequently reported outcomes included nutritional status based upon self-reported dietary intake. Additionally, most studies included in this review are cross-sectional, have a small sample size, and/or are limited to a particular setting or participant population. More rigorous research is needed to: 1) gain insight into why so few eligible older adults access home-delivered meals programs, 2) support expansion of home-delivered meals to all eligible older adults, 3) better identify what home-delivered meals models alone and in combination with other services works best and for whom, and 4) better target home-delivered meals programs where and when resources are scarce.
