How to apply

Seven little steps toward independent living

The application process is easy and works like this:

  1. The client or caregiver calls the Meals on Wheels office and speaks to a Client Coordinator.
  2. The Client Coordinator takes down basic details (name, birth date, telephone number, address, physician's name and phone number, and information about an emergency contact) and sends the caller an information packet and application form via postal mail.
  3. The client obtains a physician's prescription for Meals on Wheels by calling or visiting his or her physician.
  4. The physician's prescription is faxed to the Meals on Wheels office by the physician's office or the client.
  5. The client completes the application form and mails it to the Meals on Wheels office with the one-time $5.00 application fee and $50.00 up-front payment for the first two weeks of service.
  6. The client or caregiver may call the Meals on Wheels office again to arrange any special requests that can be accommodated in accordance with the diet his or her physician has ordered. Examples are white bread instead of wheat bread or fruit juice instead of milk.
  7. Delivery will begin within two to three business days after the physician's prescription is received at the Meals on Wheels office.
  8. Meals on Wheels has no waiting list. New clients typically begin receiving meals less than a week after signing up for services!
