The mission of the Iowa Department on Aging is to develop a
comprehensive, coordinated and cost-effective system of long-term living
and community support services that help individuals maintain health and
independence in their homes and communities. Nutrition and Wellness
Programs are available to older Iowans 60 years and older, a spouse of
any age, and disabled persons under 60 years who reside in housing
facilities primarily occupied by older adults where congregate meals are
served. These meals can help aging and disabled Iowans live healthier
lives through balanced nutrition. For the FY year 2014, over 21 million
dollars went to support the congregate and home delivered meal programs
for older Iowans.
