Director Comment:
We all enjoy a meal out once in a while and it’s exciting we offer a program that enables older adults to have this option. The DISH program is an innovative way for local business owners to support a program that provides older adults in our community the opportunity to enjoy a meal out a few times a month.
It’s important to us that individuals have a variety of restaurants to choose from and would welcome hearing from local restaurant owners interested in joining our program!
Provider Comment:
Our customers that are using the vouchers from the Senior Dining Program absolutely love coming to our restaurant in Ottawa. They are very happy with the many choices on the menu that they can choose from and are delighted that they can come anytime of the day. They like the fact they can choose from breakfast, lunch or dinner seven days a week. Some folks have told our staff that they wouldn’t be able to eat out if it wasn’t for the senior dining program.
We love the fact that we are able to make these folks happy.
