However, no person will be admitted for service unless he meets the eligibility requirements as established by the Board of Directors. Individuals referred for service will be admitted based on priority, according to needs and the adequacy and availability of personnel and resources to provide the service.

Functional disability which significantly limits the client's ability to prepare meals for himself.4. At risk: serious consequences will result if adequate nutrition is not maintained. 5. Lack of support from family, friends, or other agencies to provide meals.
