Hello Larry, we have a similar system, that is keeping people at home longer
and with assistance. Do you have meals on wheels over there. We have it
here where volunteers take a days cooked meal plus some extras on a Monday
to Friday basis, with two meals on Fridays. I remember my Dad got them
when Mum was in hospital a couple of years ago. Meals are mainly prepared
by some paid and some volunteer staff and the receiver pays a nominal cost.

Regards, Errol in Narangba Qld Aust and getting hotter.
