Information &
Assistance
Finding your way through the maze of services and options available for
elderly and disabled loved ones can be very frustrating. Meals-on-Wheels
maintains telephone numbers and information for services such as Social
Security, housing, public benefits, legal matters, etc. We also have
information available on Meals-on-Wheels providers across the nation
through our membership in the Meals-On-Wheels Association of America.

Nutritional
Supplements
Meals-on-Wheels makes nutritional supplements available at cost
to those that need additional nourishment in their diets. Maybe a person
is not getting all of the nutrients needed everyday by eating
well-balanced meals, or perhaps a person is unable to eat solid foods.
On the other hand, maybe he or she is just skipping some meals
altogether. A liquid nutritional supplement such as Ensure provides a
source of complete, balanced nutrition to help a person with their
additional nutritional needs. All that is needed to qualify is a
doctor’s prescription and a completed intake form. Ensure Plus is
available to those who need extra protein in their diet. Glucerna is
also available at a higher cost for those who are diabetic, or simply
need to be on a lower calorie diet.
