Meal Preparation - home care support in Barrow, Grange and South Cumbria.

Nutritious meals, made with care and tailored to you.

At Heydays Care, we know that enjoying a good meal is one of life’s greatest pleasures — and essential for maintaining health and wellbeing. Our meal preparation services are designed to support older adults and individuals who may find it difficult to cook for themselves, ensuring every meal is fresh, balanced, and suited to personal tastes and dietary needs.

Whether it’s preparing daily meals, planning a weekly menu, or offering gentle encouragement to eat well, our friendly care team is here to make mealtimes enjoyable and stress-free.

What’s included in our meal preparation support

Our carers can help with all aspects of mealtime support, including:

  • Grocery shopping and meal planning
  • Preparing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
  • Assistance with eating or staying hydrated
  • Managing dietary requirements (e.g. diabetic, low-salt, soft foods)
  • Cleaning up and keeping the kitchen tidy

We can also work alongside family members or healthcare professionals to ensure meals meet specific nutritional goals or medical dietary needs.

Personalised support at home

Every person’s preferences are different — that’s why we take the time to get to know what our clients like to eat, how they like things cooked, and when they prefer to dine. From home-cooked favourites to lighter meals and special diets, our carers create a supportive environment that encourages independence and promotes healthy living.

Our meal preparation services can be provided as part of a home care package, or as standalone support for those who just need a little extra help in the kitchen.

They focus on the well-being and comfort of the people they care for, creating a nurturing environment.

These plans aim to improve overall health while catering to personal tastes.

They also help with daily routines like grooming, bathing, getting dressed, and managing medications, ensuring that individuals stay hydrated and healthy. Care professionals are reliable, flexible, and adapt to the changing needs of individuals, always putting their preferences first.

The care provided is local and feels like being part of a welcoming family, creating a sense of community and belonging that resembles a family bond.
