Senior Friendly Resources Launched In response to recommendations made in the SCAN report (Seniors Community Action for Nutrition), Dietitians of Canada and the Senior Friendly™ Program began a collaboration to develop Guidelines for a Senior Friendly™ Grocery Store and companion nutrition resources.
- The Senior Friendly™ Grocery Store [1] (in pdf format) guidelines can be used as an advocacy tool, empowering seniors and educating grocers, public health officials, community organizations on the importance of sound nutrition in aging and on accessibility issues.
- The Senior Friendly™ Ideas for Healthy Eating Factsheets [2]
In collaboration with the Senior Friendly™ Program, Dietitians of Canada has developed a series of 12 tip sheets to assist seniors with planning, shopping and preparing healthy meals.
