Sunset Retirement Communities and Services

Meals at Home is a volunteer service delivering meals and groceries directly to the home bound.

Our clients: Those unable to grocery shop or prepare a nutritious meal for themselves due to age, illness, being shut-in, incapacitated, or to others who have a physical condition.

• This need can be short term (due to surgery or during rehabilitation) or it may be long term, due to illness.
• There is no age restrictions

Our goal: To assist in enabling our clients to live independently in their own home despite physical limitations.  

Your Delicious Meal:  Sunset  prepares the meals in our kitchen. You will receive a standard hot meal each day that will include meat, potato, vegetable, salad, dessert, milk, and bread.

• Volunteers deliver the meals to your home daily
• Our volunteers are local residents who donate their time and service as a demonstration of Christian love.
• They do not receive any compensation. Please treat them with kindness and respect.

Sunset's  Meals at Home office will answer any questions you have about this wonderful service. The telephone number  is (616) 457-2770 ext. 1904 or (616) 457-7777. Office hours are 8:00am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday.

Requirements to receive Meals at Home service:
You must identify a legitimate need. This may require a recommendation, either written or verbal, from a physician, pastor, social worker, hospital, health agency or a staff member of Sunset.

Our service boundaries
Our delivery service area is predetermined geographically. At this time we are limited to the Grandville, Jenison and Hudsonville areas. If you have a need outside of this area, please call and we are happy to refer you to a different service that can help to meet your nutrition needs.

Meals at Home are delivered 365 days per year! The cost for each meal is only $5.00 per day.

You must intend to receive meals at least 4 days per week.

How do you pay for the meals?                                                               

Sunset uses a pre-paid debit system for your account.                                           

Example: If you are going to receive 5 meals per week, the total cost is:
$5.00 x 5 days = $25.00
$25.00 x 4 weeks = $100.00
You would then send a check for $100.00 to cover the meals.

You may also pay at that time for any items purchased through Sunset’s “Grocery Express” service.
