Mastering Nutrition for Seniors Karla Bolanos Agency: Congress for California Seniors Supervisor: Gary Passmore
The Congress of California Seniors Education and Research Fund, a 501(c)(3) arm of the Congress of California Seniors, provides educational programs and consumer information to constituent groups and to the greater senior community throughout the state of California. The CCSERF efforts have brought information and assistance to tens of thousands of seniors and other underserved Californians. These projects were funded by grants or contracts from private foundations, government, or special project funds. In particular, this educational project is being funded by the Vitamin Cases Settlement Fund as a unique opportunity to allow us to build on past experiences to serve a population of very special people with unique needs. The main goal of this project was to produce a nutrition information pamphlet to educate community-based caregivers of dependent seniors and persons with disabilities about the fundamentals of food preparation and handling in order to help improve their health and quality of life. Ideally, the Congress wishes to reach 270,000 nonfamily caregivers in the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) workforce and 5,000 small Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) operators.
