We have Meals on Wheels here (northeast USA). My great aunt (grandma's sister) has Meals on Wheels and she is in upstate NY. My (only living) grandma gets it too and she lives very close to us.

The only problem with Meals on Wheels around here is that they don't necessarily pay attention to dietary restrictions. However, if you don't really have any dietary restrictions, then you probably wouldn't have a problem with it and I would say go for it. It's worth it and I agree it's worth looking into.

In my grandma's case, we had to stop the service for her because they were giving her things she couldn't eat, and they were doing it for months despite many, many calls to them. They kept insisting that they "couldn't" do anything about it, which is bizarre to me because they kept saying it was "all or nothing." (Either you got everything that came with the dish, or you got nothing at all.) HOWEVER, my great aunt has no problem with Meals on Wheels in upstate NY. She likes it a lot. So, it's highly dependent on where you live. But I just thought I'd leave an FYI, especially if you're allergic to something (e.g., cinnamon, apples, whatever). It seems they don't really pay attention?
