Program
Older persons need proper nutrition to maintain good health.
Programs designed to help satisfy the proper nutritional
requirements include:
The Home-Delivered Meal
Program, better known as "Meals on Wheels," provides
a life-giving service to the homebound elderly who are confined
to bed, lack transportation, or are too frail to cook for
themselves. While delivering meals, the driver serves as a link
to other community services and resources. The regular visits
also provide reassurance and alleviate some of the anxieties of
those elderly persons who live alone. Meals on Wheels is
supported by the United Way.
