My 94-year-old Mom still lives alone in her home, where she raised her family. No way will she ever leave willingly. She was frustrated with dinner meal prep and I was concerned about her safety, so I researched some options. She is very fussy about her food, and taste and texture is very important for her. She is also a very healthy eater, who loves her veggies. I ended up finding this franchise www.chefsforseniors.com and so far it has been a lifesaver. The program has a chef come to her home to cook custom meals for 2 weeks and then freeze them. Thawing and reheating has been a challenge, but we are trying to work that out. Anyone else finding a good solution to meal times for their aging parent?

I think letting food thaw out in the fridge a day or two before eating her meal, is the easiest way to defrost food.

So glad your mom likes the chef service. Cooking is a labor of love! Chefs For Seniors aren’t located in Louisiana. I just checked. I think that it’s a great idea for anyone who doesn’t wish to cook.

I hired Chefsforseniors and it has been a wonderful, life-changing service. "Chef Mike" is kind, efficient and flexible. Mom is very picky about food (always has been) and he has the patience to cater to her. I highly recommend this service - he does the shopping and prep for a week or two's dinners and is a huge load off of me.
