The goal of the home delivered meal program is to maintain health through improved nutrition and enable homebound senior citizens to remain in the community with independence and dignity.
To be eligible, persons must be age 60 or older; homebound and unable to leave home without the assistance of another person; unable to shop or prepare a nutritious meal for oneself and have no one to assist with meals; receive no more than 4-hours of in-home assistance during the day; not a Medicaid recipient of Managed Long-Term Services and Support (MLTSS).
A complete mid-day meal is delivered to participants Monday-Friday. Each meal consists of entrée (meat, vegetable, potato), fruit, milk, bread, and dessert. Meals are planned by a nutritionist to provide recommended nutrients.
