Home Delivered Meals Referral

The Home-Delivered Nutrition Services Program provides meals and related nutrition services for older individuals who are homebound. The Home-Delivered Nutrition program serves homebound, or isolated individuals who are age 60 and over, and in some cases, their caregivers, spouses, and/or persons with disabilities. To be considered homebound, the individual is unable to leave home to attend regular social activities such as a congregate nutrition site; needs escort assistance to attend medical appointments; is without access to adequate nutrition and for whom transportation to a congregate site is unfeasible; is unable to prepare meals and has no one available to prepare meals. This program provides much more than food. It provides a nutritious meal plus a safety check, and sometimes the only opportunity for face-to-face contact an individual has for that day. Area Agencies on Aging throughout the state deliver the meals. Call for eligibility requirements. Callers will be referred to their local Area Agency on Aging.
