Many communities have a food service, usually called Meals-on-Wheels, for older people who do not have assistance in the home for food preparation. A hot, nutritionally balanced meal is delivered by volunteers once a day. Day care programs, such as senior centers, are usually located where people gather for social, nutritional, and recreational purposes. Parish nursing is a nontraditional, community-based way of providing health promotion and health restoration nursing interventions to specific groups of people. Home care is a service for recovering, disabled, or chronically ill people who are in need of treatment or support to function effectively in the home environment.
