These companies provide a wide variety of tasty meal choices and will usually post the nutrition information on their website. There are also some Medicare Advantage plans that cover limited meal service benefits.Īnother great option is to order your dad some pre-made meals online from a delivery service company. Many of these programs typically charge a small fee (usually $2 to $9 per meal) or request a donation, while some may be free to low-income seniors who qualify for Medicaid. Weekend meals, usually frozen, may also be available, with special diets (diabetic, low-sodium, kosher, etc.). deliver hot meals daily or several times a week, usually around the lunch hour, to seniors over age 60 who have problems preparing meals for themselves, as well as those with disabilities. ![]() Call the Eldercare Locator at 80 to get the local number. To find services available in your dad’s area, visit, which offers a comprehensive directory, or call the area aging agency near your dad. Meals on Wheels is the largest and best-known program, but many communities offer senior meal delivery programs sponsored by other organizations that go by different names. Here are several top choices.Ī good place to start is to find out if there’s a senior home delivery meal program in your dad’s area. ![]() Concerned Daughterĭear Concerned Daughter: A wide variety of healthy meal delivery options are available for seniors who live at home and do not cook. I’d get this again if, you know, Snap Kitchen could get their shit together.Dear Savvy Senior: Can you recommend healthy meal delivery options for seniors who don’t cook or get out much? My 80-year-old father, who lives alone, has a terrible diet, and I worry about his health. The tacos were good though, a nice mix of lean and fat in the steak hunks, and a good sear on the meat. Steak Street Tacos and Spanish Rice Pilaf - once again, the spoonful and a half of cafeteria rice is not a pilaf, Snap Kitchen, just calm down haha. ![]() A horrible sauce that overpoweringly tasted of nothing but ginger. No onions, green OR white, that I could see or taste, and tough, inedible meat that was mixed up with frankly way too massive hunks of broccoli. It’s closer to a Broccoli and Beef, which is what they should have called it. “Mongolian” Beef - okay, let’s get the first thing out of the way, this is in NO way, shape, or form, “Mongolian”. I probably should have had this one first or second, given the two-day late arrival. The fish was a little mealy, and the cauliflower was bitter. Why do you have to be so conflicting SK?Ĭod Piccata - it was okay. Smoky, with plenty of dressing, and a perfect hard boiled egg. So the salad was all wilted, and that TessaMae “ranch” tasted like ALL the TessaMae products they use (heavy on the black pepper), BUT… damn it was delicious. I loved the fruit and seeds they put in the salad.īacon, Kale and Tomato Salad - this is why I’m so on the fence with Snap Kitchen. For the calorie count, it’s a great meal.Ĭhicken Salad Wrap - this is one of their new items, and despite the tortilla being dried out and the fact that I HAD to add Mayo to the very dry chicken salad, the flavor and textures were still really tasty. ![]() It was tasty, I like their potatoes typically, and the peas has excellent flavor. This one I ate first because as you can see, the container was broken and open. Honey Dijon Chicken - I ate all the meals because I cannot bear to waste food. These are my daily meals, so having a week missing just doesn’t fit well if I can’t depend upon their arrival. So I’ll be on a Snap Kitchen hiatus-mostly it’s the missing or late boxes for me. This box was two days late, and was pretty hit or miss. Since I enjoyed the meals in the first box, I thought, well, why not. So after Snap Kitchen lost my last box and I cancelled my account, they offered a discount to try again.
