Meals on wheels isn’t just for low income. Those who live alone are prime candidates for this service. PC docs and social workers highly recommend MoW, especially for newly widowed.
Five days a week usually the same person delivers a hot meal, at lunchtime, has a conversation with the person, gives human contact with a personal touch.
Meals run $5-8.50 per meal. There is also option of 5 frozen meals delivered once per week, with a longer visit for those who choose this method.
Each individual is evaluated for not only financial, but for those who can no longer navigate outside of home, from low vision, recovery from stroke, or replacement devices.
