The Delaware Meal & Nutrition Service Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for agencies and providers delivering congregate and home-delivered meal services to older adults and individuals with disabilities across the state of Delaware. This manual is aligned with the regulatory standards of Delaware Health and Social Services (DHSS), including the Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities (DSAAPD), and incorporates federal guidelines established under the Older Americans Act (OAA), the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and applicable Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver requirements. The manual outlines policies and procedures related to participant eligibility, nutritional standards, menu planning and approval, food safety and sanitation, meal delivery protocols, client rights, cultural and dietary accommodations, emergency preparedness, documentation and reporting, and quality assurance. It is designed to guide providers in offering nutritionally balanced, safe, and accessible meals that support health, reduce food insecurity, and promote independence. As a vital operational and compliance resource, the Delaware Meal & Nutrition Services Policy Manual ensures that service providers adhere to all applicable regulations while advancing the well-being, dignity, and nutritional health of the individuals they serve.
