Global Meals Offers Hospital Discharge Meals

When a patient is discharged from the hospital, the healing isn’t over: in fact, the healing is just beginning.  The hospital will send the patient home with medication instructions, exercise instructions and, of course, nutrition instructions.  But many older individuals go home to an empty house with minimal help.  It is no surprise that proper nutrition can be lacking.  Without a hospital discharge meals plan in place for the patient, healing may take longer than expected.  Worse, the patient can wind up back in the hospital in a weakened state due to lack of proper nutrition.

It is well known that those persons discharged from the hospital who have a meal plan in place recover more quickly and return to the hospital less often after discharge.  A temporary meal delivery plan scheduled with Global Meals will take away the worry for those caregivers and family members who are charged with helping the older adults in their lives recover from a hospitall stay.

Our clients can choose options from our Comfort Meal Menu flash-frozen meals. We also have meals available in Low-Sodium, Vegetarian, Gluten Free and European Favorites. Some customers choose our Kosher Meals (available in standard, no red meat, vegetarian, vegan, and pureed).

If needed, Global Meals can deliver for one week, two weeks or whatever amount of time it is necessary for the hospital discharged patient to get back to good health.  While we have grown to be a statewide meal provider, we still do business like the small, family owned company that we were when we started.  Our clients come first, and we do all we can to provide the most nutritious, most flavorful meals so they look forward to eating.  That’s how they will get healthy and remain that way.
