Senior Nutrition Program--We Need Your Input!
For over 30 years, the Senior Nutrition Program has helped older adults in King County improve their diet, health and well-being by providing home delivered and congregate meals. Congregate meals are served in a community setting, providing good nutrition and a positive and pleasant dining experience. In addition to the meal, congregate programs may offer nutrition education, fitness classes and other activities. The home-delivered meals program provides frozen or hot meals to homebound seniors in King County who are unable to prepare their own meals. Aging & Disability Services (ADS) is exploring ideas for improving our meal programs in preparation for an upcoming public funding process. As part of this process, we are seeking feedback from nutrition program participants, other older adults and their caregivers. See the link to a survey, below. As we prepare for long-term program improvements, we want to hear what you like about the program and your thoughts about changes that you might like to see. If you don’t participate in the program, we are interested in why you don’t attend and what, if anything, might encourage you to participate. Please take a moment to share your ideas on how we can better meet your needs and those of other older adults in King County. Click here to take the Senior Nutrition Program Survey.
