About the Nutrition Program

Hot Chinese meals created with recipes made with fresh ingredients purchased from local vendors are cooked at our central kitchen and distributed to our three congregate meal sites, and delivered to homebound seniors who live in the Boston neighborhoods and Greater Boston areas such as Malden, Somerville, Cambridge and Watertown every weekday.

Nutritious Meals

Greater Boston Chinese Golden Age Center’s meals are well-balanced -moderate in sodium and fat- while provides adequate calories and a tasty variety with at least one new menu item each month. The menu is also distributed to clients and posted every month. Each meal contains at least 1/3 of the current Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for essential nutrients for seniors as established by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Science. We also prepare emergency meals every year in case of bad weather or other emergency situations.

The nutrition program is staffed with an array of bilingual and bicultural management team, ServSafe certified skilled food preparation personnel, and food safety and sanitation trained delivery fleet. The Head Chef, Registered Dietitian, and Nutrition Manager all work together to plan the menu monthly and oversee the quality of each hot meal produced by our kitchen.

Wellness/Safety Checks

Not only with a nutritious hot Chinese meal, has our delivery fleet showed up every weekday at their door with a caring smile. Many seniors value interacting with the delivery personnel at their door because they are often the only person they see in a day. In addition to that, with the meal comes also the safety check. In case of any emergency, family members or care managers will be notified.
