Our services enable area seniors to remain in their homes and remain integral to the community for as long as possible. 0 0 2095061 1250933 See Schedule OHOME DELIVERED MEALS PROGRAM - FORT BEND AND WALLER COUNTY: Fort Bend Seniors' (FBS) goal is to promote better health for eligible homebound older persons by providing nutritious home-delivered meals.Clients must be 60 or older and score at least 20 on the Department of Aging and Disabilities Assessment. Eligibility is based on an assessment of impairment in the ability to perform activities of daily living or instrumental activities of daily living; frequency of a person leaving their home or needing 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' social services, nutrition, and health care needs. Once an assessment is completed, FBS staff arrange for the appropriate services to be delivered and provide follow-up reviews to ensure needs are being met. Through case management, a participant is assessed for the following services: home-delivered meals, nutrition education, assessment of needs, and appropriate referral to other services. In the event of potential exposure of the COVID-19 virus to both staff and clients, assessments were conducted via telephone rather than in-person during 2022.HOME-DELIVERED MEALS - The meals meet at least 1/3 of the recommended daily allowance of nutrients required by adults. Since the pandemic's beginning, FBS has provided seven meals per week; this includes up to four hot, nutritious meals Monday through Thursday and three frozen meals delivered Thursday for the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday meals. FBS also provides the homebound client with a frozen holiday meal on or before the actual day of the holiday. Depending on the client's needs for medical appointments or geographic location, certain clients receive once-a-week delivery with one hot meal and the remaining frozen. These clients are contacted at least twice weekly to ensure they are healthy, consuming their meals, and have a microwave to warm them properly. Seniors interested in receiving services can contact Fort Bend Seniors' headquarters toll-free at 1-800-643-9654.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 home delivery is unavailable due to emergency weather conditions. FBS provides five emergency shelf meals to each client to use during inclement weather when the agency cannot deliver to clients. VOLUNTEERS - Volunteers, part-time staff drivers, and site coordinators are responsible for the daily delivery of the meals. When volunteers deliver the meals, it reduces the operation cost for meal delivery, enabling us to purchase more meals to serve seniors. Meals are delivered directly to the participants or an authorized caregiver. The Meals on Wheels program is more than just a meal delivery. Through our trained staff and volunteers, homebound seniors receive a warm smile and a safety check to help ensure they are well and that any other identified needs, such as nutrition education, may be addressed.HOME DELIVERED OUTCOMES: In 2022, FBS delivered 321,400 meals to 1,721 homebound eligible senior citizens in Fort Bend and Waller Counties. Each week, Fort Bend Seniors welcomed new seniors to the program. Of the 1,721 home-delivered clients served throughout 2022, 57 percent lived alone or with their elderly spouse; 22 percent were veterans or surviving spouses of veterans; and 67 percent represented minority populations, predominantly African American and Hispanic. Our annual satisfaction survey of the Home Delivered Meal Clients 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 through the daily visits during meal delivery. 382617 166013 See Schedule OCONGREGATE/SENIOR CENTER PROGRAM - FORT BEND AND WALLER COUNTY: Fort Bend Seniors' (FBS) congregate centers promote better mental and physical health for older people through nutritious meals and socialization. The congregate nutrition service functions as part of a system of services to promote independent living for the elderly and as a focal point for services.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 of the participant, which enables the staff to assist with improving the participant's health. The participant is eligible to choose 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.

The eight site locations providing services Monday through Friday are open from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. 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 is offered to seniors, outlining upcoming recreational and social programs. Activities include field trips, arts and crafts, bingo, exercise, dancing, and holiday events, allowing seniors to socialize with their peers regularly. RESPITE CARE PROGRAM Before the pandemic, a half-day program was available for clients with beginning to mid-stages of Dementia (Alzheimer's) to allow family members a break from caregiving responsibilities while their loved ones participate in planned activities such as games, music, arts, crafts, lunch, and socialization. The anticipated reopening date of this vital service is 2025. 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 relating to senior clients and their needs. Critical information is provided to seniors needing additional services, and referrals to collaborative agencies are coordinated by FBS staff.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 five emergency shelf meals to each client to use during inclement weather when the agency cannot open congregate centers.CONGREGATE OUTCOMES: In 2022, Fort Bend Seniors provided 43,280 meals to 480 congregate clients in Fort Bend and Waller Counties. Of the 480 congregate clients served throughout 2022, 69 percent lived alone or with their elderly spouse; 12 percent were veterans or surviving spouses of veterans; 79 percent represented minority populations, predominantly African American and Hispanic. The COVID-19 pandemic had far-reaching effects on our community, not the least on FBS congregate center participants. The congregate centers began reopening in June 2021, with all centers reopened by August 2021. Participation in congregate programs increased after the pandemic but has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels.TRANSPORTATION - FORT BEND AND WALLER COUNTY: Fort Bend Seniors (FBS) contracts with Fort Bend County Public Transportation to provide transportation for our participants in the Congregate Program. The vehicles are air-conditioned, handicapped-accessible vans. The service is door-to-door, transporting the client from their home to the nearest senior center and then returning home following program activities. These rides were only for participants in Fort Bend County centers.
