Food and Meals

Most supermarkets offer an online option where you are able to view items to place them in a basket and have them delivered to you at your home. If you contact the Supermarket before you place an order to make them aware of any restrictions you may have for example, taking shopping from the door or putting it away, the supermarket will often arrange for the delivery person to complete these tasks for you.

An alternative would be the Age UK shopping service, an escorted shopping or grocery delivery service. Visit the Age UK website to learn more about the service (opens in a new window).

If you live alone it may be worth having a look at our community directory to identify lunch groups in your area. There are many community groups which meet and offer a lunch or afternoon snack and is a good way of meeting new people and getting out and about.

Many home care services (sometimes known as home help) would accompany you when you shop, provide transport and support you to put things away on your return home.
