Active adult communities, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, continuing care communities -- there are more care and housing options than ever for older Americans. But, by far, senior citizens' preferred place to live is home. It's called aging in place and an AARP study shows that, of adults aged 50 or older, three out of four want to age in place. It's not surprising. Everyone wants to enjoy the comforts of living at home and the familiarity of their neighborhood.
May is Older Americans Month. This year's theme is “Make Your Mark” and highlights the differences everyone can make – in the lives of older adults, in support of caregivers, and to strengthen communities.

March is National Nutrition Month® as designated by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND). For 2020, National Nutrition Month® (NNM) will focus on the theme “Eat Right, Bite by Bite”. Every NNM, we emphasize the importance of making informed food choices, along with sound eating and physical activity habits. At Mom's Meals, we emphasize the health and wellbeing of seniors so we will reinforce “Eat Right, Bite by Bite” to encourage healthy eating for our clients.
