The Aging and Disability Resource Center also administers the elderly nutrition program for Rusk County. There are five meal sites located in Rusk County that serve the nutritional needs of the elderly residents. Meals are provided through the congregate setting or through home delivery to eligible seniors. You must be 60 or over or the spouse of someone 60 or over. Home delivered meals have other guidelines to follow in addition to age. Recipients of meals are given an opportunity to donate towards the cost of the meals, however, no one is denied a meal due to an inability to donate. For more information on the nutrition program call 715-532-2176.
The Aging & Disability Resource Center also has other services to access such as the purchase of bus tokens, nutritional supplements (ensure), and meal tickets for our nutrition program. We have walker bags to give away and depending on availability, have incontinence supplies and pill boxes. The ADRC also has the Rusk County SOURCE, our agency newsletter, which is published each month and free of charge at various locations in the county. It will be mailed to you for the cost of postage.
