Good nutritious meals are a very important part of health and well-being for elderly persons living independently in the community. Because dietary intake is often reduced due to health problems and decreased activity, it is even more important that meals provide the necessary nutrition for good health. Just as important, the meal is delivered by a cheerful and carefully selected volunteer, who is also able to report any health or security concerns that require follow-up.
Hot Meals are nutritionally balanced and are prepared under the supervision of a dietitian. They include soup, an entrée of meat, fish or poultry and potatoes, noodles or rice OR an alternate, two vegetables and a dessert. Special diets are handled individually (e.g. Diabetic, Renal, Low Salt, Pureed, Minced). Meals are delivered throughout the week over the noon hour. Clients may order meals only for the number of days a week they are required.
Frozen Meals is a 5-week rotating menu. Clients can choose from a menu of nutritionally balanced meals to get the foods they prefer. Soup and/or dessert is also available.
Once a month volunteers pick up clients to attend a luncheon. The meal is followed by a short program of games or entertainment. This program provides homebound clients with social interaction and some fun. A reasonable fee is charged for the meal. Most clients with special needs can be accommodated, please call your local office to determine eligibility.
