In-Home Meal Preparation for Older Adults
Homemade connects elder adults with local home cooks who come into their kitchens in-person and prepare fresh meals suited to their dietary needs.
Why Choose Homemade
-
Made for Your Needs
Every meal is made to fit your needs. Whether that means low salt, low fat, smaller portions, or other restrictions, your home cook prepares food around what works best for you.
-
Connection and Companionship
Your home cook prepares everything right in your own kitchen. That in-person warmth can be a comfort on its own, and many older adults find that the smell of a home-cooked meal brings back their appetite.
-
Cooks You Can Trust
Every home cook has passed a background check and holds a food safety certification. You can also read reviews from families they have cooked for before, so you can feel confident about who is coming into your home.
How It Works
Free Consultation
A member of the Homemade team speaks with you and your caretaker or family, if you'd like, to walk through how Homemade works and learn about your needs, from low sodium meals to smaller portions or anything else that matters to you.
Connect with Home Cook
We match you with a home cook who is a good fit. You choose the date and time, the menu, and how much food you'd like, whether that is 4 meals to start, 18 meals, or a larger monthly stock.
In-Home Cooking Service
Your home cook does the grocery shopping if you'd like, arrives at your home, cooks fresh meals in your kitchen, and cleans up before leaving. You decide how the food is left for you: ready to eat on the stove, portioned in the fridge, or stored in the freezer for later.
Book Again
You can book again with the same home cook or try someone new. Many older adults like keeping the same cook over time, since a familiar face makes each visit feel easy and comfortable. We are happy to handle the details, like payment and scheduling, with you or with your caretaker, whichever you prefer.
