Meal Delivery Program for seniors
Another benefit of being a part of our home care franchise is the access
to our meal delivery program. We have found that Caregivers struggle to
get nutritious meals for the elderly, and often the meals they choose—like
frozen food entrees—lack the appropriate nutrition and can be expensive.
Meal delivery programs require the use of ovens and ranges, which can
be dangerous. With our partner program, we eliminate that hassle by delivering
convenience and nutrition. This meal program is a strong selling point
for their franchisees and gives them an edge over other home care services.
This meal service for seniors even offers menu selections specially designed
for those with chronic health conditions. Their senior food delivery includes
health-conscious options that are:
- Heart-healthy
- Diabetic
- Low in sodium
- Gluten-free
While most meal programs focus only on dinner, this program offers everything from breakfast to a wide range of lunch and dinner options to even a variety of healthy snack choices. It’s also easy to use—no contracts, no minimum orders—just doctor-designed, chef-prepared meals for seniors delivered to home that arrive at their front door via Federal Express.
When you become a home care franchise owner, you have access to these programs and partnerships that will help you provide the best care available.
