The San Diego-based Gary and Mary West Health Institute announced Wednesday a two-year research program, with Meals on Wheels America and Brown University of Rhode Island, to look into ways to improve the health of homebound seniors.
The research will integrate health and safety screenings into daily meal delivery services by Meals on Wheels of Greater San Diego, and Meals on Wheels affiliates in five other localities around the country.
“By researching how we can coordinate and extend the ability of the drivers to monitor the health and well-being of clients, we hope to identify new ways to improve the lives of seniors through the people that may be one of their only connections to the outside world,” Lyford said.
