The congregate nutrition service serves as a focal point for services and promotes independent living for the elderly.Client Participants must be 60 or older. An Intake and Nutritional Risk Screening is conducted for clients entering the program to determine the nutritional risks and needs of the participant, which enables the staff to assist with improving the participant's health. The participant is eligible to participate in all the following services:CONGREGATE MEALS - Congregate meals include one hot meal daily that meets at least 1/3 of the recommended daily allowance of all nutrients required by adults provided in a group setting. FBS provides congregate meals five days per week at 7 locations in Fort Bend and Waller counties as an integral part of the Meals on Wheels program. The 7 site locations providing services Monday through Friday are open from 9 am to 12:30 pm. Seniors interested in receiving services can visit the Fort Bend Seniors' site nearest them or contact Fort Bend Seniors' headquarters toll-free at 1-800-643-9654. RECREATION - FBS provides daily recreational opportunities for seniors who attend the congregate meal program. A monthly calendar of events outlining upcoming recreational and social programs is provided to seniors. Activities include field trips, arts and crafts, bingo, exercise, dancing, and holiday events, allowing seniors to socialize with their peers regularly. HEALTH SCREENINGS/NUTRITION EDUCATION - FBS provides vital health screenings for seniors at their congregate sites. The program includes screenings for hearing, vision, depression, and other senior-related health issues on an annual basis. Nutrition education programs are also provided through this program. These services are provided by volunteers who are professionals in health screenings and nutritional counseling. INFORMATION AND REFERRAL - FBS maintains a database of senior clients and their needs. Critical information is provided to seniors in need of additional services, and FBS staff coordinates referrals to collaborative agencies.EMERGENCY SHELF-STABLE MEALS - Emergency shelf-stable meals are meals with a shelf life of one year that are delivered to seniors for use when sites are closed due to emergency weather conditions. FBS provides 5 emergency shelf meals to each client to use during inclement weather when the agency cannot open congregate centers.CONGREGATE OUTCOMES: In 2023, FBS provided 61,117 meals to 559 Fort Bend and Waller Counties congregate clients.
