FAQs about meal preparations for seniors
What types of meals do Helpers prepare for seniors?
The choice of diet and meal prep is determined by the care recipient’s preferences and requirements. Helpers can cook full meals, prep ingredients, or just grocery shop—it all depends on what’s needed.
Can Helpers accommodate special dietary needs?
When you book a Helper, you’ll inform them of any dietary restrictions, allergies, and preferences so that they can accommodate your requirements.
Do you offer meal delivery services?
Helpers can run errands for care recipients, such as picking up groceries or take-out orders, but Herewith is not a food delivery service.
Can your caregivers assist with grocery shopping?
Helpers can accompany seniors and assist them with grocery shopping and companionship, pick up groceries on behalf of the care recipient, unload the car, carry bags, and put away food.
