Personal Chef

October 8, 2019October 13, 2019Blog, Lifestyle

Our “Chef for a Day” service is ideal for clients returning from a hospital stay or who simply enjoy the luxury of gourmet meals specially prepared by a Personal Chef.

The chef will provide an in-home consultation and present a choice of meals to suit specific tastes and dietary preferences. You can get more about daily food group targets on https://www.nutrition.gov/

The chef will shop for groceries, prepare a weeks’ worth of selected meals in the client’s own home, using the chef’s own culinary cookware, and package, label, and freeze meals in microwave-safe containers.

Bon Appetit!

Guidelines for Case Management Practice Across the Long-Term Care Continuum

I am compelled to put in writing how much I appreciate the help you and your organization have provided for my mother. When she left the convalescent home a few months ago she couldn’t see herself living alone anymore. You and your staff came right in when she got home and filled every need she had. My mother has made a few good friends with those who help and I believe they have actually extended her life. She has told me that she could never make it without the help she receives.

What is the North Central Aging and Disability Partnership?

The North Central Aging and Disability Partnership (NCADP) is a partnership among Connecticut Community Care, Inc. (CCCI), North Central Area Agency on Aging (NCAA), and Independence Unlimited, Inc. (IU). The NCADP was established with the aim of building a point-of-access and comprehensive system for long-term care information, options and supports for the North Central Connecticut community. The collaboration became effective March 1, 2009 by the authorized signing of a Memorandum of Understanding.

NCADP offers the general public unbiased information and assistance on issues that affect older adults, people with disabilities and their families. People can call any three of the agencies involved – CCCI, IU or NCAAA – and be put in touch with trained individuals who can best answer questions they may have about services, options, financial support, etc.
