The increase in lifetime indicates that the effective supply of healthcare services in the future and in particular the satisfaction of the need for care will become increasingly difficult. This indicates that older people need to take care in their home. Home health services include services provided to individuals and families with the aim of preserving or improving the health and function of persons with disabilities, aged, chronic diseases. The elderly who seek health care at home are often dependent on home, bed, or other individuals, with multirbidity, reduced functional and cognitive capacity, unable to provide care themselves. All of these characteristics are directly related to the diet of the elderly and are also defined as a geriatric syndrome, the risk factors for decreased perceptive power, depressive state, high prevalence of infection and malnutrition associated with bad clinical results. It is therefore necessary to monitor the nutritional conditions of the elderly who receive health care at home routine. In this collection, we discussed the importance of healthcare and malnutrition at home in elderly individuals.
