All living things depend solidly on feeding to continue to reproduce for the survival of the society. Irrespective of one’s age there are factors that greatly affect one’s feeding. The elderly like children are expected to take in balanced diet to restore their worn out energy and to enhance their deteriorating health conditions to endure old age complications. During old age the elderly also require much attention and caregiving like babies. Healthy food habits provide a key impetus to maintaining good health, preventing major diseases such as coronary heart diseases and diabetes, thus improving the quality of life among aging population. The researchers used quantitative approach for the study. The population for the elderly from Ekumfi was 5,194. However, accessible population of 632 elderly persons and 2,526 caregivers from 10 communities in the Ekumfi District formed part of the accessible population for the study therefore 100 elderly and their care givers in Ekumfi District in the Central Region of Ghana were the respondents for the study. The researchers used snowball sampling technique to select their respondents. The instrument used for data collection was questionnaire. The research design used for the study was cross-sectional non-interventional descriptive research design. The study revealed that, there were significant positive correlations between feeding habits and level of income, health condition, level of education, commitment of caregivers and physical activeness However, there was a significant negative correlation between age and feeding habits of the elderly. The results further indicated that 41.3% of changes in the quality of feeding habits were explained by their age, level of education, level of income, health conditions, commitment of caregivers, and physical activeness. The study further revealed that, level of income and commitment of caregivers respectively made the strongest and second strongest unique contributions to explain variations in the quality of feeding habit, when the variance explained by all other variables in the model is controlled. Also, The Central Government should extend the LEAP funding to cover all elderly poor and to increase the amount to help alleviate their problems
