SUBJECT: Resolution 2011 -54 Senior Meal Prices
rci
Effective July 1, 2011 the Medicaid reimbursement rate for congregate meals will be increasing
to $14.35 per meal. Medicaid regulations require the Center to charge non - seniors buying
meals at least the Medicaid reimbursement rate for these meals. In order to be compliant with
Medicaid regulations adult non - senior meal rates must increase to $14.35 per meal.
In addition, as part of the FY12 Budget process, Council on Aging recommended increasing the
following meal prices:
Senior, age 60+ Suggested Donation for a Meal $ 6.00
Children under 12 $ 6.00
A meal at the Senior Center consists of soup, salad bar, a full entre,' dessert, bread and tea,
coffee, juice and or milk. Based upon grant requirements, it is to be 1/3 of a person's daily food
requirement. Federal regulations prevent us from offering non - seniors suggested donations; it
is a set meal price and are set by the Medicaid reimbursement rate.
Meals and transportation rates have not been increased since May 1, 2006.
