Food and Nutrition

This section focuses on food and nutrition services that are dementia-specific or dementia-inclusive. Older adults in the District can obtain nutrition education and counseling specific to individuals with memory loss or dementia, as well as limited supplies of nutritional supplements. These services are provided by the District Lead Agencies on behalf of the Department of Aging and Community Living (DACL). Additionally, Lead Agencies partner with community organizations to provide meal delivery services throughout the District. These services are available to older adults with or without dementia. It is of note that some services may have income restrictions.
