Adult Day Care Center: A Unique Clinical Experience for Dietetic Students

University of Delaware, Newark

Senior dietetic students worked closely with an elderly population and respective caregivers in an adult day-care program. Experiences included preparation of nutritional assessments, design of appropriate case management, and counseling clients and families. Nutrition education programs consonant with age-related changes in learning were planned and implemented. The food service system was monitored to assure that the needs of an aging group with diverse dietary needs were met. Students enjoyed a valuable experience working with a growing population and gained an appreciation of how heterogeneous today's elders are.
