    Sharing information about other services or organisations which support our clients, will help us to keep clients safe. This information will only be used to protect clients’ vital interests. Please provide this below:
  • Delivery and Access Details

  • Meals on Wheels Service Details

  •  - -
  •  - -
  • Referrer's (Your) Details

  • Client Wellbeing

    We are required by the Care Act 2014 to ensure that: reasonable adjustments are made to adapt services to suit individual needs (such as providing specialist meals); and that we alert statutory services if we have sufficient information that a client is experiencing, or at risk of, abuse or neglect. We also have a duty to safeguard our staff, and therefore need to know about any possible risks to their safety. 
  • Dietary Information  

    To ensure that the client receives appropriate, safe meals, please complete this section to tell us about their likes and dislikes, any allergies, health conditions, or nutritional issues. Any personal data regarding a person’s health and dietary requirements will be used solely to ensure the food they receive is safe and appropriate for them, in accordance with the 2014 Care Act. 
  • If the client does not have any swallowing concerns but may benefit from meal options which they may find easier to chew, please speak to the site support teams. 


    ** PLEASE NOTE: we are currently unable to provide texture modified tea and breakfast meals. 

  • Nutritional Health

    Please answer the following questions in relation to the client's nutritional health. If you answer “Yes” to one or more of these questions, you may wish to request a Nutrition & Wellbeing telephone check (please see question 5). Please note that this is a non-urgent service and there may be a waiting list.
  • As part of a Nutrition & Wellbeing telephone check, we might:

    • Discuss your usual diet and find ways to help you make the most of your meals
    • Provide you with nutrition advice to make simple changes to your diet and improve your nutritional intake
    • Help you to set nutrition goals
  • Payment Details* 

    We will send a bill at the end of the month for the meals received during that month, so that you only pay for the meals you have received.

    A monthly Direct Debit is the easiest and most reliable way to pay for your meals service. We recommend it for three main reasons:

    1) Convenience: you won’t have to arrange payments every month;

    2) Peace of mind: there will be no missed bills; and

    3) Security: payments are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee. We will send you the Direct Debit forms to complete with your Welcome Pack when you join the service.

    To set up your direct debit payments, please call our Finance Team on 01462 887183.

  • If you are unable to pay by Direct Debit, we can also accept payment via: credit or debit card online or over the telephone, cheque or Postal Order. In some circumstances we can accept payment via an Allpay card or standing order, once you have spoken to our Finance Team to agree this. If meals are cancelled before 9.30am on the day of delivery you will not be charged for them – any meals cancelled after 9.30am on the day of delivery will be charged.

  • If someone other than the client is paying for the meal, please list their details here, and ensure their preferred payment method is selected above:

    Client Support Contacts
     
    It is very important that we have details of other people who we can contact if we have any concerns regarding the client’s health, safety, finances, or wellbeing.

This is in case a client is not at home when we attempt to deliver, we cannot find the client, and we are concerned for their welfare. We understand that not all contacts will be able to perform all support functions, so please tick the boxes to indicate who we should contact in which situation. If you can provide more than two contacts, please email these to us along with your form. Where possible please provide a mobile phone number.
