Elderly homebound recipients of home delivered meals (HDM) are at increased risk for foodborne disease and particularly vulnerable to disruptions that might prevent the delivery or safe consumption of food. In addition, there is a great deal of variability in the cognitive and physical abilities of those within this population, as well as a range of access to financial resources and social support that may vary both individually and geographically. Moreover, the agencies serving this population depend heavily on the time and donations of volunteers to carry out their important work. Therefore, to ensure their implementation, interventions designed to address food safety issues within this population must be relatively simple, efficient, and cost effective.
