Meal Preparation and Grocery Shopping

Our services are here to make sure you can eat what you love and eat well in your home. From purchasing groceries, to the preparation of hot and nutritious meals, and assistance with clean up after meals, New Dawn Homecare is your extra set of helping hands.

How can we help?

Good nutrition is increasingly important as we age. At the same time, our dietary needs can change as we age. A diagnosis of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and low iron all have impacts on what we can eat. Recovering from surgery and other medical procedures can mean the need for special diets short or long-term.

A consistent, well-balanced diet is the cornerstone of our physical and mental health, and research shows, being well-nourished leads to shorter hospital stays in cases of hospital admission. We provide meal preparation services to a wide range of clients including seniors aging at home, patients post surgery and even new moms who need a helping hand. We are here to help.

Our Meal Preparation Services Include:

  • Meal Planning
  • Grocery Shopping
  • Meal Preparation
  • Meal Clean-up and safe and sanitary food storage
  • Connection with nutritionist for specific dietary needs and/or recipes
  • Connection to New Dawn Meals on Wheels for hot, fresh, nutritious meals, particularly meals tailored to renal, diabetic, cardiac, and/or gluten/dairy free meals

We are in Unama’ki, one of the seven traditional and unceded ancestral territories of the people of Mi’kma’ki. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which the Mi’kmaq first signed with the British Crown in 1726.

We wish to recognize and honour this understanding of the lands on which we reside. It is from here, on these lands, that we work to create and support a culture of self-reliance and vibrancy.
