What a great idea on so many levels. Not only does it provide healthy meals for seniors in their own home, it frees up their time from the chore of cooking to enjoy other activities, and it gives them personal contact when the meals are delivered.

I don't care what it's called, its a great idea. If the original poster likes to cook, I'd think you could be quite successful and become an entrepreneur. It might take some legal advice, but I think you have hit on an amazing idea.

There are several companies like this in Orlando. I think it would be very popular here in The Villages. Also there are places to go to prepare your own food for a week. They have all the ingredients, and they help you make up your menus and the containers to take it home in. Also it's fun to do as a group. My Hunter's Creek Women's Association did it several times. Fun!

You all sound like the sharks on Shark tank

Figure out how much it will cost you to start up small and try it, if popular you can expand. Problems will be advertising, and making differing meals for people with different food requirements: no salt; no sugar; no nuts; vegan, etc. Will be complicated here.

But this is the Land of Opportunity, so go for it.
