Clients
Who does our Meals On Wheels serve?
Residents of any age who live within the boundaries of the cities of Bedford, Bedford Hts., Walton Hills and Oakwood Village, OH., who are temporarily or permanently disabled, chronically ill, or homebound may qualify. This service enables people unable to shop and/or prepare adequate meals for themselves to maintain or resume independent living in their own homes.
What does it cost?
Applicants to our Meals on Wheels program are asked to pay $5.00 per
meal. Clients can choose to have meal delivery every day or a portion of
each week. The hot meals are delivered in heated bags. In addition, a
cold bag containing milk, bread/butter, and any cold side dishes are
delivered each day. Clients will receive a bill for services provided at the
beginning of each month.
For Bedford seniors 60 and over who meet the qualifications, free
federal meals (Title III) are provided by Maple Hts. Senior Center. These
meals are also delivered by our volunteers.

Do our recipients enjoy their Meals On Wheels?
You bet they do. The kitchens that serve our Meals program prepare “comfort food” meals which our seniors are familiar with. A typical weekly menu might include hot meals like manicotti with sauce, stuffed peppers, lemon chicken, paprikash and noodles, homemade soup/sandwich, cold plate: chicken, tuna, egg salad; rolls, butter, sometimes breakfast of sausage, French toast, butter & syrup, fresh fruit, milk, snacks. or a juicy hamburger with condiments. For those requiring a special diet, we coordinate with Ahuja Medical Center/University Hospitals to obtain renal diets, soft food diets, low-salt, low-carb or allergy free diets tailored to one’s needs.
