Meal delivery services are not a new concept but until recently there wasn’t one strictly dedicated to meeting the unique needs of seniors. One area resident has changed that by bringing Heart to Home Meals to Winnipeg.

“I got involved after I visited a close friend who is struggling with her health the previous winter in her Florida home,” said Fred Pennell, owner of the Winnipeg franchise. “While there was a nurse who brought her lunch and dinner each day, when I saw the quality of these meals I was horrified. I knew I had to find something else, especially when she came back to Winnipeg.”

After an extensive search Fred found Heart to Home Meals and knew this would be the perfect solution for the seniors of Winnipeg.

“Heart to Home Meals is ideal for seniors who want and need nutritious meals and find it a struggle, a hassle or difficult to cook,” Pennell said. “It is also great for seniors who still want to cook for themselves.”

Heart to Home Meals features an extensive menu offering 200 items that include specialized diet options, such as minced; pureed; thickened soups; low sodium, gluten free and many others.

“We want to make it easier for the seniors of Winnipeg to have nutritious meals,” Pennell said.

Families can set up reminder calls to reorder, they can order online, there is no obligation, no minimum order and free delivery.

 When meals are delivered, they can be put right in the freezer, and “we have a rule at Heart to Home Meals in Winnipeg, if you are just getting out of the hospital you can order your meals and we will get it to you in under 24 hours, regardless of your delivery day,” Pennell said.
