Meals after Hospital Stay


Return home from a hospital stay with meals prepared just for you 

There’s no place like home to heal after a hospital stay, but returning to familiar surroundings is just one step toward a complete recovery. 

The body requires a lot after undergoing care for an acute illness or surgery. Proper nutrition is one of the most important, yet overlooked, factors your body needs to recover and reduce your risk of re-admission. The right number of calories keep your body functioning while protein, vitamins, and minerals help repair damaged tissue. 

Unfortunately, preparing a healthy meal is not always the first thing on your mind when you’re not feeling like yourself. A lack of access to food or reduced mobility makes it difficult to prepare nutritious meals. You may even struggle to find a friend or loved one who can assist. 

Our plan’s meal program eliminates the anxiety that arises from shopping for and preparing a daily meal. Those who return home from a qualifying hospital stay receive 14 meals over a 7-day period delivered right to their door. Our chef prepares your traditional favorites and ensures that flavor and nutrition are top priority with ready-to-eat meals that can be easily prepared in in your oven or microwave. 

In select areas, a trained field service representative may be available to unpack the meals and put them in your freezer. A trusted third-party courier can deliver the meals to the door if a trained service representative is unavailable.
