Home-Delivered Meals
We deliver one mid-day meal per day for seniors aged 60 and
over who are restricted to their homes due to illness or
disability. A frozen meal is left for the next day. The
program’s expansion in 2009 will include breakfast meals
funded by federal stimulus dollars.
Supplemental liquid nutrition products and special diets are
delivered when prescribed by your physician. We also provide
shelf-stable boxed meals that you can put aside for use in
the event of inclement weather conditions or emergencies.
For information call one of our Intake Specialists at (757)
461-9481.
You Can!, Help Yourself!, Stay
Safe! Stay Active! Virginia
We offer three programs that provide information, fitness
activities and encouragement to enable seniors to practice
active, healthy and safe lifestyles.
You Can! or “Eat Better, Move More” is a two-part
health-focused nutrition and walking program. Part one
provides assistance to create a healthy eating plan and
engages participants in low-impact self-paced walking, using
a pedometer and counting steps. Part two further addresses
the role that vitamins and minerals play in proper nutrition
and offers easy routines for strength, flexibility and
balance.
Help Yourself! is a “Chronic Condition Self-Management”
program that teaches how to live positive, active lives
despite on-going health concerns such as asthma, high blood
pressure or diabetes.
Stay Safe! Stay Active! Virginia is a fall-prevention
program that increases strength, flexibility and balance
through mild low-impact routines. Designed to prevent
injuries from falls, sessions also offer education and
checklists to help make homes safer.
For start dates, program locations and more information,
contact the Wellness Program Supervisor at (757) 461-9481
ext. 207, or mwachtel@ssseva.org.
