Project Homecoming

Project Homecoming provides up to five no-cost meals from Broomfield Meals on Wheels after a recent hospital stay.

Cooking is the last thing a recently hospitalized individual needs to worry about during the recovery period at home, and good nutrition is a must for healing after surgery or illness.  

Eligibility

Broomfield residents 60 years or older who have recently been released from any hospital and who are recovering at a Broomfield residence are eligible for this program. Project Homecoming is designed to help individuals with a short-term need for meals due to illness, accident, surgery, etc. 

Service Policy

A short phone intake (for dietary needs, emergency contact, etc.) is conducted before beginning meal delivery service. Doctors, nurses, friends, family or the individual being released can call. Phone intakes may be made by calling 303-464-5532. Service can begin the next business day.

Meal Delivery

Fresh, hot, nutritious meals are delivered to the home by volunteers Monday through Friday between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Weekend and holiday meals are available and are delivered during the week, frozen in a microwaveable container. 

For special diets, we offer low-sodium and diabetic meals at this time; however, please call to see if we can accommodate other special dietary requests.

If you are receiving Meals on Wheels, any changes or cancellations regarding meal delivery must be provided a minimum of 24 hours in advance. If an individual does not answer when delivery is attempted, a Senior Services staff member will be notified. A follow-up will be conducted by the Broomfield Police Department if we are unable to reach your emergency contact on file

Fee Schedule

Individuals are not required or expected to continue service after receiving the five free meals. If an individual wishes to continue service through Broomfield Meals on Wheels, the fees are daily hot meals $4, and frozen weekend/holiday meals $2. For all the details on the Meals on Wheels program, visit our Meals on Wheels web page.

Assistance is available for those who qualify thanks to Senior Resources of Broomfield Support Fund. Once a fee schedule has been established, the individual or paying party will receive a monthly bill. Monthly bills are sent out the first week of the following month. Example: bill for all meals received in July will come during the first week of August.
