Summary

This study is testing whether adding registered dietitian counseling or occupational therapy home safety tips to regular home-delivered meals can reduce fall risk in older adults. Researchers will compare four groups: meals alone, meals plus dietitian, meals plus occupational therapy, or all three combined. The goal is to see which approach works best for improving confidence and nutrition in people over 60 who cannot easily leave home.
