Aging & In-Home Services (AIHS) offers a nutrition program to address problems of food insecurity, promote socialization and promote the health and well-being of older adults through nutrition and nutrition related services.

AIHS offers three avenues of support to address the nutritional needs of older adults and people with disabilities:

Meals on Wheels

Homebound individuals receive meals delivered to their doorstep. Depending on a client's needs, they may receive diabetic-friendly or low sodium meals to ensure they are receiving their recommended nutrients. All meals are reviewed by a registered dietitian and meet the minimum recommended dietary allowances for older adults.

Congregate Dining

Individuals who receive this service are able to safely meet at a designated location daily Monday-Friday to receive a hot lunch and enjoy socialization amongst their peers. Each person's meals are individualized to their unique dietary requirements. This program promotes nutrition while reducing senior isolation.

Restaurant Vouchers

Individuals who receive restaurant vouchers are able to drive safely. Clients are provided vouchers that act as payment for a meal at one of the approved restaurants throughout northeast Indiana. Vouchers act as nutritional and social support, but also familiarize individuals with the rest of our services should they need them in the future.

Each of these programs has its own set of eligibility requirements. If you are interested in learning more, visit our website or Just Call Us for more information.

Attendees will enjoy baseball and spring-themed activities including trivia, music, kite decorating and cornhole. Light snacks will be provided.

Don't miss this opportunity to connect, socialize and build new support networks! Register today on the ACPL website!
