Meals On WheelsReviews 74

The lady running this is impossible work for, even if you volunteer. I quit because if her. Then as a senior citizen she would hound me for money for M. O. W. So I stopped it. She d3mands I say nothing about the program. But the way she treats people needs to be told

I am writing this review on behalf of my parent who is age 76. No cognitive impairments, but chronic health conditions and physical disability. She got the meals to supplement the time it takes to cook and also because at times her body is wrecked with pain and family members cant consistently cook for them... But please be where that this company is giving vulnerable aging adults spoiled food, moldy food (saw it for myself and was shocked! About a month ago my parent had stomach cramping soo extreme she had an emotional break and we went to the ER. Then today, I get a call that they ate another one of the meals that were delivered Tuesday, and was eaten on Wednesday5/28/2025 for lunch. Crying, stomach cramping to where they wanted to curl into a fetal position. This is both traumatizing, to me and my parent. They try to force you to sign a consent... my parent had me to read it... and she declined... read the fine print. Do not let them get away with this... people we talked to say they have thrown them away. What a disgrace to give non edible foods. Lastly, we have called to share the experiences and excuses excuses excuses. No one takes accountability and I have had my parent cancel this organization. Its not offering assistance, its offer guilt grief discomfort and ER visits--sad and upset adult child... California

I live in Fremont Ohio and at one time was considering of giving meals on wheels a try but after my neighbor next door gave some of her meals from meals on wheels to try I actually got sick from them. So that definitely changed my mind. More than a few times I have overhear the gossip the drivers talking about the residents and even yelling down the hallway. Just recently a female meals on wheels driver was knocking on my neighbors door my other neighbor that lives across from me opened her door up an told my neighbor that she needs to leave!

My father who is senior, and not very fluent in french has repeatedly been asked if he speaks french when being addressed your delivery staff. It may be worthwhile to provide a few moments of sensitivity training to your delivery workers and perhaps let them know that the last thing seniors who are in a position where they need meals delivered, do not need to deal with staunch 'provincialists' who have no issue making seniors jump through linguistic hoops when their order is being delivered. Our subscription is now cancelled. Do better.

I was VERY disappointed with the quality of the food. Every dish was LOADED with sugar whether the meatloaf, veggies, meat balls etc. I ordered several dished to try and will NEVER order from them again.

They failed to deliver food for my wife again and she depends on that food so the only thing she had to eat was a protein shake. I can understand that this might happen occasionally but it is beginning to be a habit

Disappointed with the meals. No chicken In the chicken but lots of numbers, l don't think this would be very healthy. And one little piece of meat in the casserole 😔

The meals are very tasty The delivery people are nice and friendly.The staff inside Mowl complain and complain about too much emails they say.Well there very good at ignoring the emails.There supposed to be there to answer the clients questions regarding there services.They must think we are mind readers.

Meals On Wheels food is no longer edible. Meals of thin chicken breast and pork chops are overcooked and dry and hard to cut and eat. Noodles are so overcooked could be described as "good for wallpaper hanging" Veggies overcooked, some out of cans uncooked. Occasionally get good food that appears left over from perhaps city or state function and donated to MOW, then to us delivered in crumbling appearance. It was once better. Today I stopped my donation. Will look for better help source.

Delivered and paper or plastic bags with some time spills occurs.

Absolutely the worst. Over the past two years the company who prepares meal for Meals on Wheels has been serving rice that is partially to uncooked rice. Uncooked rice is NOT SAFE TO EAT. Food is sometimes rancid but disguised with some weird sauce or chili pepper. Those who have witnessed the meals say what's being served amounts to elder abuse. This company's alleged philosophy is "they'll eat it if they're hungry enough. Rumors abound re: disappeaing supplies and the rotation of most meals that are at least a year old. These get are newly dated about every 2 months.

Food is awful. Hunks of broccoli stalks, chunks of unseasoned tofu, just awful. Offered to dogs and they wouldn't touch it. Will cancel.

More time is needed before they leave to let them in! They are supposed to be use the buzzer system and be buzzed in yet some don't know how to use it and will call on their cell phone! I answered a call that was made by their cell phone but no one said anything so I went downstairs to let them in but they had already left! They have it written on the instruction sheet to buzz to be let in yet still use their cell phone!

I am a homebound senior with very low income, who lives in Albuquerque, and I have always appreciated immensely the 'Meals on Wheel' program. The meals, until recently, have been quite good. I don't know if there's a new chef or not, but for the last couple of months the meals have been awful. Very tasteless, little meat, etc. One meal had a slice of ham so fatty that I couldn't eat it or cut off the fat, there was too much. Another meal was pork and it was so touch I couldn't even cut it with a knife. When I did finally get a bite off, it was too tough to chew. Today I had what was supposed to be a chicken enchilada. Fatty chicken, just a few little pieces of tortilla. These are not good quality meals.

Only 5 days a week, 1 a day. It is 3 pm, very hungry. Took 2 bites, couldn't eat. Maybe later. Food not good.

I got warm meals delivered Mon thru Fri. They'd run out of milk or even run out of meals. They did not properly prepare ahead for snow days either. The meal portions were smaller than the proper amounts also. But worst of all meals would be delivered that were not sealed properly. Sometimes having spilled out into the grocery bag it was being delivered in. When you called them, they never offered to send a new meal and they gave you attitude. Like you had no right to complain. Over-all it was a horrible experience. I know farmers who treat there pigs better than they treated me. I am now with Mom's Meals and could not be happier.

I am very grateful that Meals on Wheels exists and delivers cooked meals to us. We get 14 frozen low sodium vegetarian meals delivered each week. This is not gourmet cooking, but the meals are made with healthy ingredients like beans, whole grains and vegetables. We supplement them with salad kits and fresh fruit from the store. This has made a difference in our energy levels every day.

Recently started my mother on MOW and quality and quantity do not match the cost. The food is horrible, too much salt. We have only received one half-pint container of milk and what they call breakfast is not breakfast with expired cream cheese or tiny container of "fluff."
Food delivery is late The volunteer deliverer said she would always be late she likes to talk.
We tried calling but everything goes to voicemail and maybe they'll call back in a day or two.

I was under the vegan option
They started to send me meat dishes.
I called them up and they gave me lip service and ignored calling me back.
The food is aweful.
Stay away
