Benefits of Meals on Wheels
Our research has demonstrated four crucial benefits of Meals on Wheels
Accessing a daily meal
The meals require little to no preparation, making it easy for users of the service to have a tasty, nutritious meal every day
Reducing social isolation
It’s usually the same drivers who deliver the meal. This human contact and seeing a familiar face can improve overall wellbeing
Safety and wellbeing
Drivers who deliver the meals can check for safety around the home and the wellbeing of users of the service, and alert an emergency contact if they identify any concerns
Promoting independence
Receiving Meals on Wheels can prevent or delay the move into a care home, supporting users of the service to continue living in their own home and communities for longer
