Global Meals Drivers Care About Seniors

Global Meals drivers care about  the seniors they serve and provide more than 3,000 Meals-On-Wheels clients with healthy, tasty  options every week out of our commercial kitchens in Cleveland and Columbus.  The menu is based on traditional Eastern European dishes that allow seniors to remember the flavors of their youth.  Those flavors are the reason why so many people select Global Meals as their provider.

Our Meals-On-Wheels Drivers Care

As important as what we serve our clients, is how we serve our clients. Our drivers are trained to interact with every client.  Is isn’t enough to drop meals off outside the door.  The Global Meals driver expects to ring the bell and enter the swelling, putting meals away in the freezer, refrigerator and cabinets.  That interaction allows our drivers to evaluate the status of each client: our drivers are often one of the few personal encounters the client will have over the course of the week.  That brief visit can mean the difference between issues going un-noticed and a senior getting necessary help.

We train our drivers to notice the personal hygiene of the client. Soiled clothing and a lack of bathing can mean the senior is struggling to get around to perform the basic daily necessities.  If a once tidy home is beginning to look unkept, it may be a sign that housekeeping is difficult. And, certainly, if any pots and pans are sitting in the sink and appear to be charred, or left on the stove too long, it can be a sign of forgetfulness that can lead to a fire.

Providers Offer Weekly Touchpoint

Some seniors have no one stopping in to check on them at any time other than when the Global Meals driver delivers.  So, we make sure that we make that visit count by going indoors and engaging with clients.  If the driver notices troublesome behavior or signs that help is needed, it is reported back to Global Meals to make contact with the appropriate caregiver or loved one.

Nothing is more important to a senior than to have the comfort of knowing that someone is checking on them weekly.  We take pride in offering a personal touch to Meals-On-Wheels delivery.
