Senior Lunch Programs & Meals on Wheels

Senior Lunch Program

The Middlefield Senior Center is pleased to be aligned with Senior Resources on Aging to provide meals for our Senior Lunch Program.  All meals are prepared daily and are fresh and never frozen. Lunch is served:  Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the Senior Center Café located at 405 Main St. Middlefield, CT. 

Nutrition is a key component to staying well. Senior Resources coordinates and/or funds several options for improving nutrition through assistance, access, and education to persons over 60 years old including Older Americans Act Title IIIC Elderly Nutrition Programs, caregiver education and support, self-management educational programs, benefits screening, and referral to additional local agencies.  

Senior Resources’ Registered Dietitian provides a variety of services and programs in our area to promote better nutrition for older adults. This includes phone consultation, menu review, monitoring, educational material creation, research, and individualized counseling and assessment of Senior Nutrition Program Participants.  

To register and attend lunch please call 860-349-7121.

Community Café

The Community Café is the social center of the Middlefield Community Center. The café is a hub of activity 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday & Friday) serving lunch.  Lunch guests are greeted by volunteers who take pride in serving our guests.  People come for lunch and leave as friends. There are also many special occasion lunches such as the annual St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon, Holiday Party, Friendsgiving, Share the Love (February) and Christmas in July.  Reservations are required and a donation of $3.00 is suggested to help defray the costs of this federally funded program. (please note that special occasion events may have a slightly higher suggested donation)

Meals on Wheels

Home delivered meals are provided to seniors who cannot leave their home on a regular basis.  Meals are federally funded but donations are requested.  Each meal provides 1/3 of the daily Dietary Reference Intake for seniors with an overall plan well suited for low sodium, cardiac, diabetes and other medical concerns.

Home delivered meal recipients are visited by our Registered Dietitian annually for an individualized in-home assessment with education and counseling as needed. This is also an opportunity to provide access to other potential service needs so that the homebound client has similar access to services offered through our offices and local senior centers.
