Chefs For Seniors
Chefs For Seniors started in Madison, Wisconsin in 2013 and grew into a franchise network covering most US states. A chef visits the home, cooks a batch of meals in about two hours, portions them into containers and stores them in the fridge or freezer. Recipes lean towards softer textures, lower sodium and familiar home cooking, and the chef can work around diabetic, renal or heart friendly needs.
Rates sit well under what a private chef normally charges, and in some regions the cost is partly covered by long term care insurance or veterans benefits, which is worth asking about locally. The trade off is that everything depends on the franchisee in that area: quality, waiting times and exact pricing are not identical across the country. Younger clients wanting restaurant style plating are not the target.
