     Addressing Food Insecurity for People Living Alone with Dementia 

    Date: March 17, 2026
    Time: 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET

    Additional information about this webinar and the registration form can be found here: 03-17-2026 NADRC Webinar- Addressing-Food-Insecurity-for-People-Living-Alone-with-Dementia

    National data indicate that nearly one quarter of older Americans living alone have dementia. This population faces numerous challenges, including food insecurity, which is often worsened by cognitive impairment, limited social support, and physical isolation. Traditional senior meal delivery programs are not always designed to address the unique needs of individuals with cognitive impairment, who may have difficulty safely storing, preparing, or cooking meals.

    This webinar will provide insight into an innovative, volunteer-based food delivery model created to better support seniors living alone with dementia. Participants will learn about common barriers to food-based services experienced by individuals living alone with dementia, the key components of an effective food delivery service model for people living alone with dementia, and program evaluation best practices for measuring the impact of services for this population.

Mental Health First Aid is likened to CPR certification, where information is shared to assist individuals experiencing mental health or substance use-related issues. Specific risk factors and warning signs are discussed, with shared strategies to meet the needs of individuals with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychoses, substance abuse disorders, and trauma. The outcome focus is the development of recovery and resiliency.
