Senior Nutrition Program

SUMMARY OF SERVICES

WE ARE MORE THAN JUST A FREE MEAL!

Listed below are some of the services we now offer:

Caregiver Support

Services for Caregivers of tribal seniors include education on caring for seniors, relief for primary caregivers of seniors and quarterly education caring for the nutritional health of the senior. Our program has two caregiver coordinators. They are responsible for going into the homes of home bound seniors to provide the caregivers with the necessary tools and assistance to best care for the older adults under their care.

Our Caregiver Coordinators also present the Fit-After-50 exercise program and quarterly nutrition education at some of the congregate sites.

Journey to Nutrition

There is a new program called “Journey to Nutritional Needs” where our homebound seniors will have an opportunity to go on a field trip to buy nutritious foods and they will receive monthly nutrition education on their journey.
