It is pointed out in the passage that one of the additional advantages arising from the Elderly Nutrition Programme is that ----.
The federal Elderly Nutrition Programme is
intended to improve older people's nutrition status
and enable them to avoid medical problems, live
at home, and stay out of institutions. Its specific
goals are to provide low-cost, nutritious meals,
opportunities for social interaction and shopping
assistance. The Elderly Nutrition Programme
provides for communal meal programmes.
Administrators try to select sites for communal
meals so as to feed as many eligible people as
possible. Volunteers may also deliver meals to
those who are homebound either permanently or
temporarily; these efforts are known as Meals on
Wheels. The home-delivery programme ensures
nutrition, but its recipients miss out on the social
benefit of the communal meal sites; every effort is
made to persuade older people to come to the
shared meals, if they can. All persons aged 60
years and older and their spouses are eligible to
receive meals from these programmes, regardless
of their income. However, should demand exceed
supply, priority is given to those who are
economically and socially needy. An estimated
25% of the nation's elderly poor benefit from these
meals every day of the week.
