Waterford Meals on Wheels 3.28

For many seniors, the trusted Meals on Wheels volunteer or staff member that shows up every day with a hot meal and a warm smile is something to look forward to. Seniors travelling to our centre for meals also receive valuable social interaction and companionship. All of us can attest that a meal can be much more than the food on the plate, but also the company across the table. Adequate nutrition is necessary for health, functionality and the ability to remain independent. Healthy eating can increase mental acuity, resistance to illness and disease, energy levels, immune system strength, recuperation speed and the ability to manage chronic health problems. Along with the inevitable impacts of ageing come the increased risks of medical emergencies, falls and other accidents. The safety check that accompanies each meal delivery ensures that, in the case of an emergency or problem, Doctors will be called, families will be notified and our seniors will not be forgotten.
