Remember that many seniors are home-bound and some actually participate in services such as "Meals On Wheels" or some other type of food/meal delivery service. So any type of counseling /recommendations - particularly if the service is "a la carte", might be helpful. And this might apply to any caregivers who are with the home-bound to provide advice for meal prep.
