Hospitalization is a challenging experience for many older adults as they may face declines in nutrition status and physical function (1–4). Xia and McCutcheon suggested that a myriad of factors contribute to the declining nutrition status of older adult patients during hospitalization, including poor dietary intake due to illness, the eating environment in the hospital, and the lack of assistance with meals (5). Functional declines experienced during hospitalization can be attributed to bed rest or immobility and complications of underlying health conditions under treatment (6). Thus, the posthospital discharge period is critical to recuperation from illness and re-entry into com- munity living for these patients (7). However, once home, older adults often remain at continued risk of poor dietary intake (8, 9). Many return to solitary living arrangements, have limited access to in-home nutrition services, and see little improvement in physical function (10–12). In addition to these barriers to recuperation, limited finances may also restrict access to micronutrient-dense foods such as fruits and vegetables (13). Given the importance of these foods in the primary and secondary prevention of chronic diseases (14, 15), a greater understanding of the availability of these food groups in the household and the ability to prepare and consume such food is of interest for program planning.
