How Meals on Wheels Brought Daily Care and Comfort to Our Family
After Mum died, we had to rethink our plans for Dad who was living with his grief and his memories of Mum all inside the family home, which is steadfastly where he wanted to stay. Dad wasn’t frail, but he was vulnerable, as his cognitive capacity was in decline.
Meals on Wheels was the first organisation we thought of as a means to ensure he received a fresh meal daily and equally if not more importantly for the family was someone to knock on the door and make sure he was okay.
The volunteers of Meals on Wheels Sunnybank Salisbury were so patient and caring for Dad that it still brings a tear to my eye. They would call when they thought there was an issue, and they would celebrate his birthday and all the other key dates on the calendar. But truly, for Dad, myself and my siblings, every day Meals on Wheels delivered was a special day, as we knew he would be checked in on when we couldn’t.
Meals on Wheels has a special place in our hearts and in the communities and let it be so for years to come.
