Nutrition Programs

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 homebound 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.

HOME DELIVERED MEALS
The “Title III” Home Delivered Meal Program is designed to assist persons age 60+ and/or the spouse of someone 60+ a nutritionally balanced noon-time meal and thereby avoiding premature institutionalization.

The “Options” Home Delivered Meals Program provides meals for residents of the State of Tennessee; persons 18 years of age or older; must have a physical disability; and must be limited in daily and independent activities.

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 provides meals for residents of the State of Tennessee over the age of 21 who meet financial requirements to receive Medicaid as determined by the Department of Human Services; meet the TennCare Pre-Admission Evaluation (PAE) medical criteria for level 1 nursing facility; and have an identified caregiver available to assure their health, safety and welfare; and be able to receive services in the home at a cost less than that of institutional care.
