Prescott Meals on Wheels

Dorothy - Dorothy is a 79 year old female who has been receiving home delivered meals for a little over a year.  Dorothy is a diabetic and has an artificial leg.  She suffers from heart disease and experienced two strokes after heart by-pas surgery.  Dorothy said that before Meals on Wheels she would have rated her quality of life as a 3.  Now that she has the service it is at least an 8!

 

Mr. & Mrs. C – Mr. C is a 91 year old male suffering from lung and heart problems and has had heart surgery.  Mrs. C is 77 and suffering from left-side paralysis following a stroke.  They have some home assistance, but the noon meal they receive is welcomed with open arms.

 

John – John is a 71 year old who lives alone and copes with a number of health problems.  Last year John nearly died from not eating.  “I can’t cook, and don’t get out much, so I just wasn’t eating”.  After being released from the hospital, John was enrolled in Meals on Wheels.  “These meals have saved my life, “ he said.  “They’re tasty, and they’re delivered right here every day.  If I didn’t get them, I know I wouldn’t be eating.”

 

What others are saying:

 

“Thanks so much for your culinary workers and your drivers….having a meal delivered reminds me to take care of eating properly and I really appreciate your friendly and carrying drivers.”

 

“Thank you for the nice meals you bring to me.  Also thanks to the wonderful volunteers who bring them.  They are always so cheerful.  They brighten my day.  Everyone goes that extra mile to make life pleasant.”

 

“I want to thank you for all the lovely service and all your nice volunteers who bring the lunches every day for my Mother.  The Christmas quilt too was quite beautiful and helpful.”
