How to apply for Council on Aging of Martin County (COAMC) Meals on Wheels + Senior Dining

Who it's for

The Council on Aging of Martin County (COAMC) is the Martin County Lead Agency for senior services, designated by the Area Agency on Aging of Palm Beach/Treasure Coast (PSA 9 AAA / Your Aging Resource Center). COAMC operates The Kane Center as its main hub for senior services and delivers a substantial volume of senior meals: 250+ home-delivered meals each weekday across Martin County, plus Senior Dining Centers in Jensen Beach, Indiantown, Stuart, and Hobe Sound. The home-delivered Meals on Wheels program serves more than 500 vulnerable homebound seniors throughout Martin County. Three meal pathways are available: Meals on Wheels (home-delivered for homebound seniors at no or low cost via OAA Title III funding); Senior Dining Centers (free or low-cost weekday meals at congregate sites); and Kane Cuisine (paid hot-meal delivery for seniors who can pay but want the convenience of home delivery). There is a modest fee for OAA meals, but community donations underwrite the cost for seniors unable to pay. COAMC also provides care management, caregiver support, and the dementia caregiver program. Apply by calling COAMC at 772-223-7800 or visiting The Kane Center or any Senior Dining Center in person.

What you'll need

• Proof of age 60+ (Florida driver's license, Florida ID, or birth certificate)
• Proof of Martin County residency (utility bill, lease, or government correspondence)
• For Meals on Wheels: documentation supporting homebound status (typically a physician's note or COAMC care manager assessment)
• Income documentation if applying for income-tier funded services (the modest meal fee can be underwritten by donations for those who cannot pay)
