Myer mentions that social service interventions for malnutrition, including congregate dining, are often under-utilitized and could provide a stimulating environment that may improve the quality of life of many older adults. Further, general preventative measures focus on evaluating the nutrition of older adults, including keeping record of weight patterns, helping with meal plans that focus on nutrient rich roods and using local services such as a meal delivery program. Additional strategies include: * Taking an inventory of someone's refrigerator or pantry to determine the types and amounts of food they have * For dental and chewing challenges, juicing or mincing fresh produce, or using canned or frozen fruits and vegetables * Using nutritional supplements like a multivitamin pill (with primary care provider's approval) * Clarifying with a healthcare provider if a given medication can cause loss of appetite * Encouraging exercise to improve appetite and maintain bone and muscular health
