I dont know how much meals on wheels are for people but I do know that sometimes they arent nice so what I do is I have arranged for our local good grub pub to plate a meal everyday and its delivered by a taxi to Mum.
Mum can heat it up in the micro but cant cook for herelf.
There is a very good selection of meals that cost 3.99 ie steak jacket spud salad and peas, piri piri chicken and rice and chickenalads,lemon and pepper fish with chips and salad etc.
The taxi costs 1.50 as I have arrange cheaper weekly rates.
Mum enjoys the food and I know she will eat it as she has picked it and its not served in a plastic tray as meals on wheels are.
I only do this if Im away and cant cook for her myself and together Mum and I choose the meals weekly making sure that there is a good balance of things that she eats.
Because Mum has a sweet tooth but cannot have anything too high in fat I get individual ice cream cones or fruity yogurts as her puddings which she can help herself to.
I hope what I do helps others think outside the box
