An older adult client who lives alone tells a clinic nurse that he is unable to drive himself to the store and is afraid to cook on the stove. Which of the following community resources should the nurse recommend for this client?

A. Hospice care: Hospice care is reserved for clients with a terminal illness and a life expectancy of 6 months or less. This client has functional deficits but is not described as terminally ill. B. Meals on Wheels: The client's primary deficits are the inability to shop (transportation) and the inability to cook safely (safety risk). "Meals on Wheels" is a community-based program designed specifically for homebound older adults to ensure they receive nutritious meals, addressing both the nutritional and safety concerns. C. A rehabilitation facility: Rehabilitation is typically for short-term recovery following an acute injury (like a hip fracture) or illness (like a stroke). This client is describing age-related functional decline, which is better managed with home-based support services. D. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF): As the name implies, TANF is a financial assistance program for low-income families with children. It is not designed for older adults living alone.
