How to apply for Rockdale Senior Services — Meals & Transportation — Rockdale County
Rockdale County Government — Rockdale Senior Services (Parks & Recreation Department)
Who it's for
Rockdale Senior Services, a division of the county's Parks and Recreation Department, provides support services to older residents of Rockdale County. Hot, nutritionally balanced lunches are served weekdays at the senior center, and noon meals are delivered to homebound residents 60 and older who cannot easily prepare a meal. The department also coordinates transportation, including a transportation voucher program and a veterans' transportation program for trips to VA medical facilities. Call 770-278-7230 for transportation and 770-278-7240 for the senior center.
Rockdale Senior Services meals and transportation are for residents 60 and older; home-delivered meals require a need (difficulty preparing meals) and may have a suggested donation. Availability depends on capacity, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
What you'll need
- Proof of age 60+ and Rockdale County residency
- For home-delivered meals: a statement of need (difficulty preparing meals)
