Just as important as a well-balanced meal is the need for socialization and information, particularly to those elderly with unmet social needs. Serving meals in a congregate setting affords many opportunities for recreation, exercise, socialization, health screenings, and volunteerism. In addition, well-planned programs can provide information on topics of interest and concern to older adults, such as: estate planning, medical and nursing home insurance policies, dietary concerns, and consumer fraud.
