Meals on Wheels (MOW)
Home Delivery
Meals on Wheels is the delivery of ready-to-eat meals to your home around the lunch hours. Meals are provided Monday thru Friday with provisions for evening and weeks for qualified individuals. If you or a loved one is dealing with a disability, chronic disease, or recuperating from surgery or illness; then the delivery of a hot tasty meal and a friendly smile could be of help. During meal delivery, we provide what is best described as a daily safety check, where a trained staff member, who is familiar with the participant and their living environment makes note of changes that can be a sign of issues arising. Safety checks are an important tool in being proactive in preventing major issues from developing.
