BASScare's Meals on Wheels service provides nutritious, home-delivered meals to older adults who may have difficulty preparing food. Our service ensures that clients receive balanced, dietitian-approved meals right to their door, supporting their independence and well-being. Whether for long-term needs or short-term recovery, BASScare Meals on Wheels offers a reliable and convenient solution tailored to individual dietary requirements.
Our Meals on Wheels program also serves as a check-in on the welfare of our clients. Our volunteers make certain everything is in order – from putting out cutlery, disposing of uneaten food and collecting the mail. Any problems a client may be experiencing are quickly brought to the attention of BASScare staff, and family members or carers are notified.
At BASScare, it’s all about the client. Even down to the menu. We know what the favourite meals are, so we make sure they’re on rotation. There is even the opportunity for our clients to have tastings with the chef and have real input into the make up of the menu.
All the meals are prepared by our experienced staff in our state-of-the-art Faversham House kitchen in Canterbury. We also cater for special dietary requirements, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with our friendly staff.
Each meal comes with a soup of the day and dessert. Special dietary requirements can be catered for, including diabetic, low fat, gluten free, fructose free and vitamised options, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Reasonably Priced
Our delicious three course meals are very reasonably priced and are subsidised by the Commonwealth Department of Health and the City of Boroondara. BASScare can also provide meals for people on Home Care Packages.
A Daily Check in with a Smile
Our Meals on Wheels program also serves as a check-in on the welfare of our clients. BASScare volunteers provide a friendly and familiar face who report any noticeable changes in clients to BASScare staff. The staff in turn notify family members and carers.
BASScare acknowledges the traditional owners as the original custodians of this land, and respects their customs and traditions and their special relationship with the land.
