If shopping and cooking become too difficult, you can have meals delivered. These services are known as "meals on wheels". The service is aimed at elderly, sick or care-dependent people who receive fresh, hot meals at home every day.
In most federal states, financial support is available for the delivery of meals. This depends on the care allowance level. Either the receipt of care allowance or an assessment of need for meals on wheels is a prerequisite for delivery. Ask the social services department in your province.
However, the services and prices vary depending on the provider and region.
Meals on wheels are organized regionally by different providers. Please note that the offers are not exhaustive.
