Home delivered meals include one hot meal daily that meets at least 1/3 of the recommended daily allowance of all nutrients required by adults for five or more days per week to seniors who are homebound. The average Meals on Wheels participant is 78 years old, lives alone and reports needing assistance with at least two independent activities of daily living. Participants for the home delivered meal program must be unable to physically attend a senior center and be unable to safely prepare their own meals. For these seniors, meals assistance is crucial. Over 87% of the seniors served by Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels Program have household incomes under $15,000, and often in the homes of married couples, both seniors have health issues.
