Midland Care Meals on Wheels serves older adults and homebound in Shawnee, Jefferson and Douglas counties.

Hot, nutritious meals delivered daily can assist people in:

  • Remaining independent in their homes
  • Avoiding hospitalizations
  • Managing chronic health issues, including special diets necessary for diabetes, heart-related, renal, and swallowing complications
  • Ensuring their safety at the same time of meal delivery

Safety Check:
Volunteers who deliver meals play a vital role by reporting any health and environmental changes or crises they may have observed during their visits. This includes participants who did not answer their door and changes in behavior and/or surroundings. Reported and suspected issues will be immediately addressed to carry out the next steps as previously outlined by participants or their caregivers. Meals on Wheels staff establish a baseline of function and environment at the initial home visit and annually thereafter.
