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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Registered dietitian counseling and occupational therapy home safety recommendations
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding simple therapy services to meal delivery helps older adults stay safer and healthier at home.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial. Results may vary and the approach may not work for everyone. The study is still recruiting.
