UCHRA - The Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency

ELDERLY NUTRITION
Program Goal: Provide persons age 60 and over nutritious noon meals either in a group setting or in their homes; strive to improve the quality of life for the elderly by providing sound nutritious meals five days a week.

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.

HOME DELIVERED MEALS
The “Title III” Home Delivered Meals Program is designed for the frail elderly to remain in their own homes, avoiding premature institutionalization by providing a nutritionally balanced noon-time meal.

The “Options” Home Delivered Meals Program is designed to assist the frail older adults and adults with disabilities to remain in their own home by providing a nutritionally balanced noon-time meal and thereby avoiding premature institutionalization.

The “Family Caregiver” Home Delivered Meals Program is designed to give relief to anyone who is a caregiver of a senior 60 years of age or older. This program can also give relief to grandparents or other senior relatives who are primary caregivers of children not more than 18 years of age.

The “Medicaid Waiver” Home Delivered Program is designed to provide meals for clients who meet the financial requirements, meet TennCare Pre-Admission Evaluation medical criteria for Level I nursing facility care, 22 years of age or older, able to receive services in the home at a cost less than that of institutional care, and must have a 24 hour caregiver living in the home.

The Community Services Block Grant Programs provide a limited amount of funding to deliver meals to persons under the age of 60 who meet program guidelines.

Counties Served: 14 counties of the region
Funding Sources: TN Commission on Aging, churches, UCDD Area Agency on Aging, civic groups, local governments, individuals, United Way, TN Department of Human Services
