Eligibility is based on an assessment of: impairment in the ability to perform activities of daily living orinstrumental activities of daily living; frequency of a person leaving his or her home or need assistance to do so; ability to prepare nutritious meals and shop for food, their nutritional risk, and financial resources available to the senior.CASE MANAGEMENT - FBS provides individual assessments by a trained and degreed case manager to determine seniors needs in the areas of social services, nutrition and health care. Once an assessment is completed, FBS staff arrange for the appropriate services to be delivered and provide follow-up reviews to ensure all needs are being met. Through case management a participant is assessed for the following services: home delivered meals, nutrition education in the home, assessment of needs, and appropriate referral to other services.HOME DELIVERED MEALS - The meals meet at least 1/3 of the recommended daily allowance of all nutrients required by adults at least five days per week. FBS is now providing meals seven days per week; including five hot nutritious meals and on Friday two frozen meals are provided with the hot meal for the Saturday and Sunday meals. FBS also provides the homebound client a frozen holiday meal on or before the actual day of the holiday. In addition, through a waiver approved by the Department of Aging and Disability, some of our clients living in the rural communities receiveone hot and six frozen meals to consume throughout the week. These clients must be screened to ensure they are able to warm the meal and also receive telephone reassurance calls two times per week to ensure they are consuming the meals.EMERGENCY SHELF STABLE MEALS - Additionally, FBS provided 10 emergency shelf meals to each client to use during inclement weather when the agency is not able to make a delivery to clients. VOLUNTEERS - Volunteers, part time drivers, and site managers, are responsible for daily delivery of the meals. When volunteers deliver the meals, it reduces the operation cost for meal delivery which enables us to purchase more meals to serve seniors. Meals are delivered directly to the participants or an authorized caregiver. The clients must give the delivery person permission to enter their home. The Meals on Wheels program is more than just a meal delivery. Through our trained staff and volunteers, a homebound senior receives a warm smile, safety check to help ensure he or she is well and any other needs that are identified such as nutrition education may be addressed.OUTCOME: In 2019, FBS delivered 302,244 meals to 1,465 homebound eligible senior citizens in Fort Bend and Waller County. Through our annual satisfaction survey of the Home Delivered Meal Clients we have confirmed that the meals on wheels program 1) promotes better health for homebound elderly through improved nutrition and 2) alleviates the isolation of the homebound elderly by the daily visits during meal delivery. 516662 280445 CONGREGATE MEAL/SENIOR CENTER: Promotes better mental and physical health for older people through both nutritious meals and socialization.

In 2018, the organization added two congregate center locations, and worked to grow its Respite Center.Client Participants must be 60 years of age or older. When a client enters the program, an Intake and Nutritional Risk Screening is completed to determine the nutritional risk and needs for the participant which enables the staff to assist with improving the participant's health.
