FRESH IS BEST.----------- It's all down to money isn't that sad.

Meals on wheels are pre-prepared meals consisting of a main meal and a dessert. People with dietary needs can have special meals such as diabetic, vegetarian, gluten free, kosher or halal. They are delivered to you by our approved provider Apetito Services.

Who is it for?
Meals on wheels are available to older people and adults with a mental health problem or physical, sensory or learning disability.

You might be eligible if:

you live on your own and are having difficulty cooking your own meals
the person you live with or your carer is not able to cook for you during the day
you are recovering from an operation at home and are unable to cook for yourself – you can get meals on wheels for the short-term.
What types of meals are available?
Hot meals can be delivered all year round. It is important to eat your hot meal straightaway rather than keeping it warm or putting it in the freezer. This will reduce any risk of food poisoning.

Frozen meals are delivered every two weeks. Instructions are provided for oven and microwave heating. To ensure food safety they must be kept in a freezer.

How much will they cost?
Each meal costs £3.10.

How can I apply?
To apply for a meals-on-wheels service you have to receive an assessment of your needs. This is described in our page about applying for adult services. The money available limits the services that we can offer, and we cannot meet everyone’s needs all the time. Some people will have more important needs than others and the assessment process helps us find out whose needs are greatest
