Sometimes the pressures of life bought about by ill-health, loss of a loved one, a disability or depression impact on our motivation, desire or ability to cook. Often, it’s the last thing we can or want to do and our sense of independence can be challenged by admitting we might need a little help.
A common problem facing people adapting to changed circumstances is poor nutrition and or weight loss. These often lead to more complications.
A few decent meals a week make a huge difference, in fact, meal providers are often told, “I wish I’d got meals sooner”.
The easiest way to find out about meal services is to ring your local Meals on Wheels service. Numbers are listed below and they will be more than happy to explain how their particular service operates and to get you started.
