RATIONALE
The Homebound Delivered Meals Program is designed to improve the quali of life for
the poor and impoverished seniors who are restricted to their homes. The n .;eals program
provides a service to the elderly that may prevent or delay premature institutionali-
zation thus reducing the cost of prolonged hospitalization or residence in a nursing
home. The program also helps seniors to recover from surgery or illness in their own
home enabling them to attend a congregate site or prepare their own meals. Through
the assessment/reassessment portion of the prcgr!N other needs can be determined and
referred and the lifestyle, as well as the nutritional status, of the seniors is
further improved.
