Nutrition Program for Seniors
This section lists congregate (group) nutrition sites which serve a hot meal daily to county residents 60 years of age and older, and home-delivered meal services which deliver a hot meal daily to the homes of isolated frail residents 60 years of age and older. Voluntary donations are suggested, and are used to expand the program. By regulation, these meals provide one-third of the recommended daily dietary allowance. Call the Nutrition Site Manager at least one day in advance (before noon) for reservations. Note: Lunch is the meal that will be served, unless otherwise indicated.

Adult Day Care Centers
Adult day care centers are designed for older individuals who need help with activities of daily living or who are isolated and lonely. At the centers, seniors are able to socialize with others while receiving assistance and supervision. It’s especially beneficial for those who can no longer structure their own daily activities, desire social interaction or can’t be safely left alone at home. At the same time, the centers give caregivers a break from around-the-clock care and provide peace of mind that their loved one is in good hands. There are varying levels of adult day care that cater to seniors’ specific needs.
For seniors suffering from Alzheimer’s or related cognitive diseases, Alzheimer’s Day programs provide social and health services specifically for seniors with cognitive challenges. In this setting, activities appropriate for the participants’ functional abilities are provided in a secure environment to prevent wandering, and the staff has specialized training in dementia care.
