Nutrition Program for the Elderly and Disabled
Program Goal: Provide persons age 60 and over and individuals with disabilities a nutritious noon meal either in a group setting or in their home; strives to improve the quality of life for the elderly by providing sound nutritious meals five - seven days a week. The home delivered meal program also provides daily contact to individuals that are home bound and enables them access to other in-home services.
Congregate Meals
Congregate noon meals are provided at Senior Citizens Centers located in all 14 Upper Cumberland Counties. Anyone age 60 or older is eligible to receive a meal at the congregate site. In order to assure a meal, reservations must be made the day before. Nutrition education is provided monthly to the congregate participants and also to the home delivered clients, keeping seniors abreast of updates in the area of nutritional needs and breakthroughs.
