Webinar 10/30:
Nutrition Services Program Outcomes Evaluation
ACL's Nutrition Services Program (NSP) (provided
through Title III-C under the Older Americans Act) provides access to
nutritious meals, facilitates social contact, supports family caregivers,
and helps older adults maintain their dignity in their homes and
communities. In a continued effort to rebalance long-term care towards
home- and community-based services, ACL has conducted a Title III-C NSP
Client Outcomes Evaluation to assess program effectiveness, as measured by
the program's effects on a variety of key outcomes.
Join the National Resource Center for Nutrition
and Aging on Tuesday, October 30, at 3 pm ET to learn about the
results and conclusions from Part II of the evaluation that describes
participants' health and health care utilization and examines overall wellness
measured using longer-term outcomes related to health and avoidance of
institutionalization.
Access Part I of the evaluation report that addressed the
outcomes of food security, socialization, and diet quality here.
