Homebound seniors get a well-rounded meal that helps them live independently in their homes and offers vitally important nutrition. CCS - Sierra Vista Home-Delivered Meals program delivers once a week between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Delivery day varies depending upon location. During each visit, our drivers check on the wellbeing of the seniors. Five meals are provided each week.
This federally-funded program is designed for persons aged 60 or over (or spouse, regardless of age) and persons with disabilities* who are in greatest social and economic need, are at risk of not meeting their daily nutritional requirements, and:
- Are home bound and, according to an in-home assessment, have limitations in at least two activities of daily living such as preparation of meals, shopping for food or doing housework
- Have no other meal preparation assistance available to them.
CCS - Sierra Vista does not provide the intake services for acceptance into this program, but will refer interested individuals to the proper agency to see if they qualify.
CCS - Sierra Vista also provides this program as a private-pay service for those interested in having meals delivered to their home or a family member’s home. Many family members have used this program while they are out of town for an extended period of time, and they are worried that their elderly family member or friend may not be able to meet their daily nutritional needs on their own.
*Very limited funding is available for individuals with disabilities, age18-59, on a short-term basis.
