236 individuals on the waiting list at three MOW programs (Neighborly Senior Services in Clearwater, Florida; Visiting Nurse Association of Texas in Dallas, Texas; Meals on Wheels - San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas) will be randomized to one of the following modes of delivery: 1) meals that are delivered daily, five days per week, by a MOW program volunteer or paid driver and includes socialization and a wellness check or 2) frozen meals that are mailed to participants' homes. Persons with ADRD receiving meals and their caregivers will be recruited to pilot interview guides. The primary aim is to test and validate procedures to recruit participants with ADRD and evaluate their outcomes in partnership with MOW programs. The study also aims to characterize differences in the processes and potential mechanisms contributing to outcomes between the two modes of meal delivery among older adults with ADRD. The qualitative interviews with participants and their caregivers will provide important process and mechanistic information about the experiences receiving meals and participants' outcomes.
