Meals on Wheels is here for you While it helps many seniors age in place, the Meals on Wheels program at Columbus Community Hospital is not limited by age. It’s for anyone who is unable to leave home or prepare meals because of illness, recovery or disability. Anne Hellbusch, an assistant in volunteer and guest services, said someone recovering from a hip replacement or going through chemotherapy might have difficulty getting groceries or cooking for themselves. “Meals on Wheels can facilitate healing and nutrition during those times,” she said. For the current price of $6.44 per meal, eligible people receive a ready-to-eat meal prepared by CCH’s nutrition services department and delivered by community volunteers. A typical meal includes meat and potatoes or a casserole, a vegetable, salad, dessert, bread and milk. Menus change monthly, and alternate meals are available. Dietary needs are accommodated when possible. CCH bills meal recipients monthly, and financial aid is available.
