Does your mom or dad find that cooking healthy meals for themselves on a regular basis is a burden?
You might be able to please their pallet, and their health with a meal delivery service.
Seniors often suffer from poor nutrition and their overall health and well being suffers. The Mayo Clinic says that many older adults are at risk of inadequate nutrition. Malnutrition, Mayo said, can lead to a weak immune system, poor wound healing, muscle weakness and decreased bone mass, a higher risk of hospitalization, and an increased risk of death.
The Fresh Plan Delivers
The Fresh Plan is a Chicago-area based food delivery service that provides restaurant-quality customized fully prepared nutritious meals. With meals starting at about $8 each, The Fresh Plan will either deliver your meal to your door or offer it for pickup at one of their five Chicago-area locations.
Featured recently on WGN’s Windy City Live, The Fresh Plan offers meals that are made with the freshest ingredients, with nothing artificial, no preservatives and locally sourced when available. It is a great service for seniors since the meals can be heated in two to three minutes in the microwave. There are four weeks of variety, so you’ll have a different meal every month.
One happy customer, Tina, said, “Thank you, Betsy, to you and your staff. I am a senior and am so thankful that I don’t have to run to the store for groceries because I know on Monday morning, I’m going to see your smiling face and my delicious meals for the week.”
Founders Betsy and Scott Epton say, “As distributors of healthy meal plans for over 20 years, we saw the need for something different. We wanted to offer our clients fresher, better-quality ingredients in delicious restaurant-quality meals.”
The Fresh Plan best serves those who fall into one of these groups:
- Seniors – That can’t or don’t want to go out shopping and would like healthy fresh meals delivered right to the door.
- Elderly Parents – Adult children concerned about their parents getting healthy nutritious meals delivered right to their door.
- Professionals – Busy working people that don’t have time to shop, prepare and cook yet want a healthy alternative to take out.
- Weight Loss – Calorie controlled; fresh healthy meals that will aid in weight loss combined with a healthy lifestyle.
- Health Concerns – Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and many other health concerns may benefit greatly from a healthy diet that is low in sodium, low in cholesterol, low in fats and low in added sugars.
- Moms/Dads – Want to eat healthy but find it difficult to cook for their kids and separate healthy meals for themselves.
- Empty Nesters/People Living Alone – The economics of grocery shopping for one or two people don’t always make sense, the food waste (and it’s cost) can be a lot and not to mention the time to shop, prepare, cook and clean up!
