How Our Meal Delivery Service for Seniors Works

Freshly Cooked Meals. Nutritionally Balanced. Gourmet Meals Delivered with Care.

Our experience working in the senior care field prompted us to launch Martha's Senior Gourmet. Food quality, meal preparation and senior nutrition are the number one concern of families, physicians, and other care providers. Many seniors don't want to cook anymore and turn to eating out, eating poorly, or often not eating at all. For some, cooking, shopping and deciding what to prepare and eat are becoming chores they try to avoid at a cost to their health. Martha's Senior Gourmet caters to senior meal delivery. Our variety of home-style meals is designed with senior dietary guidelines in mind, delivered daily by our trained delivery personnel and ensures seniors are eating properly. More so, our goal is to make sure they enjoy the food and the daily contact with our delivery person.

Nutritionally Balanced Meal Delivery for Seniors

Martha's delicious gourmet meals are balanced with the right proportion of protein, fat, and carbohydrate. Meals are low sodium although our chefs ensure great flavor and taste. The generous portions are designed so proper nutritional balance is received with every offering. Every meal has 4-6 oz of protein, 3-5 oz of starch (mash, grilled or roasted potatoes, couscous, rice, or pasta) 2 oz of steamed, roasted, or grilled vegetable, and 8 oz of fresh vegetable or fresh fruit salad. Meals arrive in a microwavable container made of recycled materials, so they can be reheated if needed. Our delicious and nutritious meals are prepared fresh daily by our chefs in a local kitchen facility rated "A" by the health department.

Variety of Meals and Daily Substitutions

We offer 28 different dinners and lunches on a four week rotation. View our menu to learn what we are serving each day. When no changes are made, you will receive the meal that is on the calendar.

This provides you with three different options for every meal we deliver.  In addition to the different menus we can adjust our meals to accommodate non-dairy, low K, pureed food and other special dietary requirements. Please call to inquire.

Fresh Meal Delivery by Our Trained Delivery Team 

Meals are delivered in some communities on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, between 7:30 – 4:00 PM. In other communities, meals are delivered on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Some offices delivers on a two days delivery schedule (Mon/Thu or Tue/Fri) per week. Please check with your local office regarding your delivery schedule. For example, if you are on the M, W, F schedule, we will deliver Monday’s and Tuesday’s meals on Monday, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s meals on Wednesday and Friday’s and the weekend meals on Friday. Our meals are fresh and will last up to five days in the refrigerator. Lunch/Dinner plans will be delivered by lunch time (traffic permitted) but are set so lunch is for the next day. Meals come in an insulated bag with an ice pack to ensure freshness; please make sure you refrigerate upon receiving the bag. Martha's Team will pick up the bag and ice delivered the previous day on the next delivery day. In case a customer is not home, delivery bags will be left next to the front door (unless instructed differently) and it will be noted on the daily monitoring report if applicable. 

Our Delivery Personnel complete a training program, which helps them best serve our Senior Customers. In the training, they learn about general customer care, senior needs and concerns, and other circumstances they may need to address. They learn to observe certain behaviors and to note them accordingly as part of our senior care services.
