What is the cost for meals?
Although the "suggested" senior contribution
for the meals varies among the sites, it is usually
$1.50 for dining center meals and $1.75 per day for
home- delivered meals. Contributions for the meals are
confidential and seniors will not be denied service
due to an inability to pay the full suggested contribution.
