You arrive home to your parents place, after they have had a stay in hospital.
You are run off your feet all day trying to get the community nurse into help with showering them, and then you ring Meals on Wheels to organize meals for them. It is a pleasant surprise to find that they will also supply you with a meal as well because you are their carer. This is one of the many functions of Meals on Wheels in Australia.
Elderly people are in need of home support all the time, and Meals on Wheels have been coming to their aid for many years with those home delivered meals. You don't have to wait for somebody to refer you to Meals on Wheels, you can contact them yourself. Any doctor or social worker or even a friend of the family can make the initial contact.
That visit 3 days a week is also a good support, for many who need the support, especially after a hospital visit, and no you don't even have to be just coming out of hospital to get that special support. Just being a Baby Boomer, can make you qualified.
In NSW almost every day over 20,000 people are helped by Meals on Wheels by 240 branches. Our branch http://www.mortormow.com will be happy to help you out if you can't find your nearest local branch. No matter where you live we will help you find your nearest branch.
In conclusion you don't have to wait until somebody comes home from hospital. If they are frail aged or even disabled or a carer, then Meals on Wheels is there for you.
