The number of older adults remaining in their homes rather than moving to residential aged care is increasing and while this is preferred by the vast majority, ‘aging in place’ can increase social isolation. This project aimed to discover how increasing in-home connection with clients of Meals on Wheels Queensland could impact their wellbeing, including social isolation and loneliness. The Let’s Do Lunch program (LDL) program included volunteers visiting a client to enjoy a meal together every 3-4 weeks over a five-month period. The strategy of engaging clients in their homes, using discussion over a meal, was seen as a potentially efficacious way of addressing both social isolation, and being able to undertake more comprehensive wellness checks on a regular basis. Using quasi experimental design, social isolation and loneliness were measured pre and post intervention for control (n=95) and intervention groups (n=41). The program was welcomed and highly valued by participants, with preliminary results suggesting those who were identified with the highest social isolation and loneliness, benefitting from the program. A range of experiences were reported by volunteers participating in the program and careful consideration of their needs and preferences is required for successful matching between volunteers and clients. The next steps of the program will investigate how the program can identify and specifically reach older adults who are at the greatest risk of social isolation and loneliness.
