CAPABLE
An Age in Place Intervention for Central Texas older adults made possible through the generous support of the St. David’s Foundation. Developed at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, the CAPABLE (Community Aging in Place, Advancing Better Living for Elders) program uses evidence-based methods to improve physical function and depressive symptoms while reducing hospitalizations to help homebound older adults safely age in place.
Social Isolation
Our social isolation research is made possible by our valuable partnerships with the Factor Health Team at Dell Medical School at The University of Texas and Texas State University Department of Anthropology.
Malnutrition
Meals on Wheels Central Texas continuously measures the prevalence of malnutrition in our older adult population and the impact our medically-tailored meals have on clients served. This research was made possible by the Family and Consumer Sciences Nutrition Department at Texas State University and The University of Texas at San Antonio’s Nutrition and Dietetics Department.
