Nutrition Services

Eating well means more than just sustenance. From hot meals served at senior dining sites to personal nutrition counseling by a registered dietitian, our Nutrition Services play an important role in the health, well being, and independence of the older adults we serve.

Meals On Wheels

A nutritious meal delivered by a friendly driver goes a long way in helping maintain independence. Meals on Wheels provide a daily meal for individuals over 60 years old who are homebound and unable to prepare their own food. Find out more about Meals On Wheels.

Senior Dining

Senior Dining offers older adults an opportunity to meet, share experiences, explore new interests, and enjoy a hot, nutritious lunch. Anyone age 60 or older is welcome. A donation of $1.50 for each meal is suggested. Anyone under 60 years of age may join us for a nominal fee.

Lunch is served at 12:00 Noon Monday through Friday at 12 Senior Dining Locations in senior centers and elder complexes in our service area. All reservations must be made by 11:30 one day in advance. If you are interested in making a reservation, please call the phone number listed for each Senior Dining Location.

Grocery Shopping & Delivery

Food shopping can often be an overwhelming chore. Our grocery shopping and delivery service helps those whose ability to lift or travel is limited. The service even includes shelving! Find out more about this and other Home Care Services.

Nutrition Education

Our Nutrition Education program, run by a registered dietitian, includes fun, informative presentations offered throughout our community. Sample topics include:

Weight Loss Disease Prevention Food Safety Cooking Demonstration  …and More!

These classes are held at Senior Dining locations, senior centers, and other community locations. We also offer one-on-one nutrition counseling for homebound elders.

Nutrition Supplements

If you have been making frequent trips to the store to purchase those heavy cases of nutrition supplements, Mystic Valley Elder Services has the answer. We can deliver brand-name nutritional products, such as Ensure, at a reduced price to older adults in the communities we serve. Find out more about ordering by calling 781-324-7705.

Medical Nutrition Therapy

As an integral component of a person's total wellness package, our registered dietitian can work with individuals and their physicians to develop nutrition care plans. Medical Nutrition Therapy is often helpful in managing illness and nutrition-related medical conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. Medical Nutrition Therapy involves the assessment of a person's diet and medical conditions followed by appropriate recommendations that may range from diet modification to nutrition case monitoring to the use of specialized nutrition therapies such as intravenous or tube feedings.
