How do I qualify for Meals on Wheels?
There are only a few requirements you must meet in order to qualify for Meals on Wheels services.
Potential clients must be considered homebound and 60 years of age or older. Qualifying seniors are in great need, whether because of disability, disease, or isolation. They are unable to perform their typical activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). These seniors are unable to purchase or prepare regular nutritious meals for themselves, and have no one else available to do so for them.
There are instances where a spouse or a disabled dependent of the client can also qualify for Meals on Wheels. The disabled dependent does not have to be of a certain age.
Can someone sign up on behalf of a loved one?
Yes! Many family members sign their elderly loved ones up for Meals on Wheels.
We also receive many referrals from hospitals, social workers, neighbors, and anyone with direct contact with a senior who might need our help
Contact the appropriate organization serving your area to sign up.
