Meal Preparation Support
Meal preparation involves assisting participants with planning, preparing, and enjoying nutritious meals that meet their dietary needs and preferences. This support promotes independence, healthy eating habits, and overall well-being. It is tailored to the participant’s abilities, cultural preferences, and specific health conditions, such as diabetes, dysphagia, or allergies.
Our meal preparation support services can be funded through NDIS funding or accessed privately. If you want to learn more about how we can support you, get in touch today to speak with our team or request a free consultation.
