please somebody help me?

Question:

i have to do this for college, im studying nutrition and one of the questions they ask is " using the internet, find three diets of elderly people and make a summary, my problem is, ive done the whole google search thing, but cant find anything! does anybody know what sites i can go on or give me any tips for searching in google. or even better does anyone know of three different diets followed by the elderly. thankyou very much to anyone who can help me.

Answers:
This is confusing, I work with eldely people and the only thing I can say is-

Some have pureed food- due to swallowing problems they risk choking on solids
Diabetic diet- self explanatory
Normal diet- like what everyone else eats

Sorry I can't really help, but I've worked in Nursing homes for 10 years, and I've never heard of any other specific diet.
