"Outings to Your Taste" is an inventive program that means to work on the wholesome status
and interpersonal organization of older individuals who get home-conveyed suppers. This article looks at
interest in one of the program's parts, trips to local area cafés. Cooperation information were gathered
nearby and data about customer attributes was gathered in at-home meeting reviews of designated
customers. Outings to Your Taste is a two-component program addressing two objectives: to improve
nutrient intake among Meals-on-Wheels (MOW) elderly clients and to strengthen their social network,
especially with peers. The first component entailed stepping up home-delivered meal services by
offering elderly individuals the option of receiving two additional meals, with a maximum of seven meals
per week. The second component enabled clients to eat out in a restaurant in the company of peers
once every two weeks. Districts were selected according to their large elderly population (18% and 17%,
respectively) and their linguistic and cultural characteristics. District 1 was largely French-speaking, and
District 2 was largely English-speaking. In each district, a senior's center helped develop and carry out
the project initiated by the Montréal-Centre Public Health Directorate.
