Meals on wheels

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.

Promotion of meals on wheels

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 in your federal state

Meals on wheels are organized regionally by different providers. Please note that the offers are not exhaustive.

Here you can find the offers for "meals on wheels" in your federal state:

  • Burgenland
  • Carinthia
  • Lower Austria
  • Upper Austria
  • Salzburg
  • Styria
  • Tyrol
  • Vorarlberg
  • Vienna
