Homebound adults ages 60 or older may qualify to receive our Meals on Wheels service. To see if you qualify, the Southern Illinois Visiting Nurses Association (SIVNA) must perform an in-home assessment.
To make an appointment for an in-home assessment, please call SIVNA at 618-236-5863.
*Please note that SSP cannot provide in-home assessments.
Spouses of homebound adults, regardless of age, may also qualify if approved by SIVNA.
People under the age of 60 who are disabled and would like to participate in the Meals on Wheels program may be eligible based on a Department of Human Services assessment through the Department of Rehabilitation Services (DORS). To check your eligibility, please call 258-9808.

Donations are greatly appreciated to help offset the cost of food, containers, and delivery. The suggested donation for the Senior Services Plus, Inc. Meals on Wheels program is $4.00 per meal. Neither your ability to donate or the amount of your donation will affect your eligibility to receive a meal.
Private Pay: Anyone who is willing to pay full price for a meal ($8.00) may also use our Meals on Wheels Program without an assessment. Temporary delivery of home-delivered meals is also available for those recovering from a physical setback such as surgery, illness, or injury.
