Why choose Meals on Wheels?
Meals are prepared fresh in our Massillon commissary and reviewed by a licensed dietitian to ensure they are balanced for the special needs of our clients. Meals are delivered to your door by caring staff members and dedicated volunteers, guaranteeing a safety check for clients.
Each client’s safety is of the utmost importance. Volunteers that deliver the meals daily are instructed to deliver the meal directly to the client or a caregiver, NOT to simply drop off the meal. This helps ensure that the client is well and able to come to the door. If a client does not answer when a volunteer arrives, client services is notified through our electronic delivery system and a call is placed to the client to check on their wellbeing. If the client does not answer or there is a concern, then an emergency contact is contacted to notify them of the client’s status.
