Meals-On-Wheels
Meals-on-Wheels are a lifeline for many seniors in our community. For the homebound senior with health or mobility issues, preparing daily meals can be difficult, if not impossible. CASS offers a variety of meal choices and delivery options that meet the needs of each individual senior.

Traditional Meals-on-Wheels
Our traditional Meals-on-Wheels program delivers meals to seniors on a daily basis, providing fresh, nutritious food delivered by a professionally-trained staff member who helps ensure it is heated properly if needed. In addition, the CASS driver provides a daily check-up on the well-being of the senior. This Meals-on-Wheels program offers seniors a selection of freshly prepared meals, prepared to meet any specific dietary needs.

Savory Selects
featuring 31 choices of entrées
The Savory Selects program is similar to our traditional Meals-on-Wheels program, but is delivered weekly rather than daily. The Savory Selects menu gives seniors the opportunity to choose their meals from a menu of 31 entrée choices in addition to a selection of fruits, breads, snacks, milk and juices. These well-balanced meals are low in fat and sodium and provide one-third of the recommended daily nutrition requirements. The Savory Selects meals are ordered in advance and delivered in seven- or 14-day quantities. These meals can be warmed in a microwave or a traditional oven at meal time. Take a look at the Savory Selects menu and you’ll see something there for everyone’s tastes.

Savory Selects at Home
for older adults who need meals temporarily or are willing to pay for their meals
Many seniors want the convenience of having a nutritious, healthy and easy to prepare meal delivered to them, but do not meet the eligibility requirements – or don’t want the inconvenience of applying. Or maybe an elderly adult is coming home from the hospital and unable to cook for themselves – or just wants to have a few meals a week delivered to them. Savory Selects at Home is the same as our Savory Selects program, offering 31-entrée menu options to these seniors, and anyone wishing to have meals delivered to them.
Savory Selects at Home are paid by the senior, with the convenience of having a meal delivered right to their door. Because of the low price and delivery flexibility, active seniors who find it hard to prepare a single meal, or prefer not to cook take favor this meal option. Many adult children and other caregivers have found Savory Selects at Home gives them peace of mind knowing that their parent or family member always has a meal available.
