Meal Delivery Services for the Elderly in Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire Meals on Wheels Services

A healthy and balanced diet is central to keeping elderly people in good health. However, as we get older it can become more difficult to prepare fresh and healthy meals on a regular basis. For more information about the importance of healthy eating, you can read our Guide to Keeping Healthy in Older Age.

On this page, you can find out more about how your relative in Hertfordshire can receive either hot meals directly to their door, or frozen meals that they can simply microwave at a time that suits them.

Your relative may also be interested in Hertfordshire’s Lunch Clubs and Day Care Centres, which can both guarantee your relative is regularly eating hot cooked meals. They are also a great social opportunity if they would like to enjoy some company with their meal!
