A local case management agency can enroll an older adult age 60 and older in a meal delivery program.
This is for older adults who are unable to:
- Attend a group meal program
- Prepare their own meals
To participate, you must be evaluated by a case manager at a participating agency.
Older adults who receive home care for eight or more hours a day are generally not eligible. Your home care attendant is expected to prepare meals.
Exceptions are made when an older adult:
- Has no cooking facilities
- Cannot afford to purchase food
- Required a kosher meal that the attendant cannot prepare
