Nutrition Program

Nutrition is essential to healthy aging. Older adults who routinely eat nutritious food and drink adequate amounts of fluids are less likely to have complications from chronic disease and to require care in a hospital, nursing home or other facility. The Older Americans Act Nutrition Program serves a population with a wide variety of health-care needs, but nutrition is a common denominator.


The Forest County Office on Aging Senior Nutrition Program provides hot meals with 1/3 of the daily nutritional requirement, socialization and volunteer opportunities along with connections to community supportive services. Our volunteer home delivered meal drivers provide a face-to-face personal contact with the home bound senior. The drivers also provide a safety check to a person who may be frail or isolated, and in some instances, this my be the only contact the person has that day.


Then Office on Aging ensures that the Nutrition Program has qualified, properly trained staff. The site managers are required to have 6.5 hours of training each year per our contract with the state. A registered dietician reviews all menus.


Forest County has five dining sites throughout the county. Lynn's Catering caters four of the meal sites. Alvin is a cook site due to distance. The Nutrition Program is offered three days a week due to limited funding. We have 5 volunteer drivers that deliver meals to peoples homes.
