My Mom is interested in having frozen meals delivered, due to her blindness. Any recommendations?

My mom has Medicaid.

Keith, in regard to frozen meals, are you referring to what we use to call "TV dinners"? Some grocery stores have joined on-line grocery ordering but that would mean you would need to do the ordering for your Mom.... then the order will be home delivered for a delivery fee. But then would be the question of reading the directions on the TV dinner packing. Such food items are packed with high sodium.

I don't believe Medicaid has anything to do with helping paying for groceries. Your Mom, if she is on limited funds, would need to qualify for food stamps [I believe it is now called SNAP.... google USDA Snap].

Keith, check out Meals on Wheels; the meals won't be frozen but will be warm so that they can be eaten right after delivery. Our service delivers a meal around lunchtime, and generally double meals before a holiday. There's also an option for weekend meals.

The cost in our area is only $3 per meal.

If your mother specifically wants frozen meals, you could contact Schwan's, a home food service with a variety of frozen products.
