Those are some very good starts. My wife worked as a social worker for our local Area Agency on Aging for many years. From what she's told me over the years, they should be able to guide you and your parents very well and help you setup whatever services they may need, including working with the VA and any other resources they may have available. I'd say they should be your first call. As for the meal plans, they may or may not be overkill depending on how well your parents can prep their own meals. I know just how labor intensive (not to mention expensive) some of their meals can be. It's possible they may qualify for Meals on Wheels or other services that may be a better fit for their lifestyle and/or capabilities.
