Frequently Asked Questions About the Senior Nutrition Program

Q: What is the Senior Dinner Club?

A: Senior Dinner Clubs provide a nutritious meal, entertainment, and socialization opportunities in a congregate dining setting. Each club is staffed with a Site Manager, Food Servers and volunteers. There are 7 dinner clubs throughout Steuben County, serving noon meals.

Q: Who can attend the Senior Dinner Club?

A: The clubs are open to anyone age 60+ and their spouse regardless of age. Persons under age 60 with disabilities may attend if they reside in a housing facility occupied by seniors or if they live with and accompany someone age 60 or older to the dinner club. Other guests under 60 are welcome to dine with you; however, federal law requires them to pay the full cost of the meal.

Q: How much to the meals cost?

A: The actual cost to prepare the meal is $5.00. We ask for a voluntary donation of $2.50 per meal.

Q: What is the Home Delivered Meals Program?

A: The Home Delivered Meals Program is provided as a support to seniors who wish to maintain independent living but are unable to prepare nutritious meals for themselves.

Q: Who can receive home delivered meals?

A: Home delivered meals are available to anyone age 60+ and their under age 60 spouse. This is a wonderful option if you are homebound, disabled, chronically ill, recently discharged from the hospital, or at nutritional risk. Home delivered meals are also available on a limited basis for those under age 60 who have a disability.
