Food and Nutrition
The Healthy Aging Program at Atlantic Health System suggests the following helpful resources to assist seniors with their nutritional needs by helping them find home-delivered meals, nutrition centers and sites, grocery shopping services and food pantries.
Home-Delivered Meals
Home-delivered meals are nutritious meals that are delivered to homebound elderly or disabled people. Typically, volunteers deliver a daily meal and provide brief, friendly visitation to participants.
