SENIOR DINING SITES ARE TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO COVID-19
Since the COVID-19 outbreak began, our Meals on Wheels program has begun services to over 400 new clients. We are still delivering meals daily. Our nutrition staff and delivery drivers wear masks and gloves, and follow strict social distancing protocols to protect their health and that of our consumers. Due to safety concerns all meal sites are closed indefinitely and we are unable to offer Latino meals until further notice. Based on availability our home delivered meal menus are subject to change. Thank you for your understanding.
Our Congregate Meal Sites are located in a variety of locations

Home Delivered Meals are brought to the homes of homebound individuals by trained drivers. Often, the meal driver is the only person the individual sees on a regular basis. Drivers help to communicate the persons’ needs for additional service to the WestMass ElderCare staff.
