Home Delivered Meals

LARSO provides Home-Delivered Meals to individuals aged 60 and older who are homebound and need nutrition support on a permanent or temporary basis (due to illness, surgery, or the like). Delicious and nutritious meals created in our kitchens offer one-third of the recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) for the average senior.

What is included with Home Delivered Meals?

• Hot meals with meat or other protein, vegetables, fruit, bread, milk or other dairy, and dessert.

• Daily contact from one of the Center’s drivers.

• Home visits from a Case Manager or Assessor for initial assessment and periodic reassessments for eligibility and other needs.

• One frozen meal (delivered on Friday) for each weekend day.

Seniors who are:

• Age 60 or older and reside in Los Alamos County.

• Homebound and unable to leave the home for social activities.

• In need of someone to help regularly with preparing nutritious meals.

• A spouse or dependent, regardless of age or disability, who lives at home with the eligible senior.
