SPAN Center Home Delivered Meals

Mission:
The SPAN Center Home Delivered Meals program is dedicated to supporting the nutritional needs of older adults who are homebound and unable to prepare meals for themselves.

Services Provided:

• Nutritious Meal Delivery: Hot meals are delivered directly to the homes of eligible seniors. Each meal includes a protein (such as meat), vegetables, fruit, bread, milk or other dairy, and dessert, ensuring recipients receive one-third of the recommended dietary allowances (RDA).
• Special Dietary Accommodations: The program offers regular and special diet options, including diabetic, renal, and vegetarian meals. Foods can be chopped or pureed to meet individual needs.
• Daily Wellness Checks: Meals are delivered by Meals on Wheels volunteers, providing daily contact and a safety check for participants.
• Care Coordination: A Care Coordinator from the SPAN Center conducts an initial home visit to assess eligibility and nutritional needs, with periodic reassessments to ensure continued appropriateness of services.

Who They Serve:

• Eligibility: Individuals aged 60 and older who are homebound and require nutrition support. Specific eligibility requirements and service area details are determined during the assessment process.

Program Highlights:

• No Cost Mentioned: The program does not specify costs or payment methods in the provided information.
