Having meals delivered is not an easy process. Factors, such as budget, number of prepared meals needed, storage space available, ease of reheating, depth of menu, shipping boxes, and budget all come into play. And that is just to name a few. Every family caretaker situation is unique. In addition, some seniors and elderly may have need for nutritional diet programs, such as diabetic meals or low sodium meals. 

Senior Meals Delivered

You may be looking for a Food Assistance Program, and we have some guidelines to help you with that. However, most seniors and elderly do not qualify for these programs. If that is the situation you are in, you may have to consider a private-pay senior meal delivery solution. As mentioned,  we do offer some basic qualifications guidelines for food assistance programs such as:
Private-pay may be your immediate solution, but any of these senior food assistance programs may help contribute to your long-term family caretaker needs.
We have been taking care of our parents, and now parent, for a long time. To make matters a little more difficult, we live a couple hours away from our loved one. Having regular meals delivered not only ensures our loved one is eating right, but eating regularly. We don't use senior meal delivery services as a complete source of meals. Instead, we use them to maintain an inventory for the purpose of convenience. It is so much easier to a senior living on their own to reheat a prepared meal than to have to go the market, shop for groceries, cook, and clean up.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

The importance of finding a company that offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee can't be stressed enough. For your convenience, we listed the exact wording of the company's guarantee, if they posted on their website.

Not all guarantees are the same! Read the wording carefully, as sometimes it can be confusing as to what exactly they guarantee. In our experience, we found companies that offered a full satisfaction guarantee had much better food than those that didn't.

Some senior meal solutions we listed here make the bulk of their money from food assistance programs like Medicaid or Meals on Wheels. No doubt, these companies have to create prepared meals within specific budget, but we feel the quality of the food should be better than the frozen meal you can buy at the market.
Sample Senior Meal Review of Home Bistro and Mom's Meals

Below are pictures of two Stuffed Pepper dinners we purchased from Home Bistro and Mom's Meals. We grew up on a steady diet of Stuffed Peppers, so it's no surprise our Mom likes to always have them in her order.

The Stuffed Pepper from Home Bistro was as near perfect and homemade as you will find. The portion size is very generous too. The meat tastes just like the ground beef you would buy at the market if you were making this meal yourself. Both of the sides were excellent too. 

Anyone can throw frozen greens into a tray, but Home Bistro added some shaved almonds which gives the side a wonderful crunchy texture. Home Bistro might be the only company that has rice pilaf on the menu, and theirs reheats perfectly without being dry or split from overcooking. The pepper is in one piece, and is truly "stuffed" with meat and rice. It is topped with pasta sauce that complements the dish perfectly.
Senior Meal Deliveries from Home Bistro and Mom's Meals
The Mom's Meals Stuffed Pepper is quite the opposite. As you can see, there is excessive water in the microwave tray which drowns out any opportunity of flavor, a problem common to this company for many years. The pepper is a few mushy slices, and far from qualifying as being stuffed. 

The sauce on top is so watered down, it is unable to stay on top of the pepper. The rice side dish is just plain white rice. The most unappetizing thing about this meal was the quality of the meat. It didn't have the same texture as ground beef you would get from the market. In fact, we're not sure what it was, but it didn't taste like high-quality.
For $5 more, we found the Home Bistro Stuffed Pepper to be a much better value, and so did our Mom. She thought they were very close to being hers, and the smile on her face when she has one makes the meal worth a lot more than what we paid for it.
