AGING PROGRAMS AND PLAN FOCUS AREAS OAA FOCUS 1 - OLDER AMERICANS ACT CORE PROGRAMS (cont.) TITLE III-C Nutrition Services TITLE III-D Evidence-based Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services TITLE III-E National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP) Nutrition Services supplies both meals and socialization opportunities to older people in congregate settings and in their homes. The Congregate Nutrition Program provides meals and related nutrition services in congregate (group) settings, which help to keep older Americans healthy and prevent the need for costlier medical interventions. In addition to serving healthy meals, the program presents opportunities for social engagement, information on healthy aging, meaningful volunteer roles, and trained staff provide opportunities for exercise and nutrition education and counseling to attendees. During SFY 2018, AAAS in Virginia provided over 651,000 congregate meals. SFY 2018 651,000 Congregate meals SFY 2018 1,892,000 Meals provided by AAAS in Virginia The Home-Delivered Nutrition Program provides meals and related nutrition services for older individuals who are homebound or isolated individuals who are age 60 and over, and in some cases, their caregivers, spouses, and/or persons with disabilities. This program provides much more than food. It provides a nutritious meal plus a safe- ty check, connection to other possible services, and sometimes the only opportunity for face-to-face contact an individual has for that day. During SFY 2018, AAAs in Virgin- ia provided just under 1,892,000 meals. Disease prevention and health promotion programs (Title III D) promote wellness and healthy lifestyles among older adults and prevent or delay chronic conditions. Many of Virginia's AAAs offer evidence-based activities, including CDSME and falls prevention workshops. Many of these services are also supported through Administration for Community Living (ACL) Discretionary Grants Under Title III-E, the NFCSP provides a multifaceted support system that helps families to care for an older individual or child or a relative with severe disabilities. These sup- port services, which do not supplant the role of the family as caregiver, but enhance the ability to provide informal care for as long as appropriate, are provided to family caregivers, grandparents, or other older individuals who are relative caregivers. In Vir- ginia, many AAAS offer innovative programming and evidence-based programming (e.g., lunch and learns, Memory Cafes, and the Caring for You, Caring for Me from The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving), and support for caregivers predominantly through: CRIA, Respite Care (Adult Day Care, Homemaker, and Personal Care), Trans- portation and Assisted Transportation, Care Coordination, Caregiver Training, and Sup- port Groups. 32 2
