Someone to do home cooking dinner meals for a week in Parkwood suburb in Perth

[uncleormonde]

I have an uncle living in Parkwood, Perth WA who has recently gone through treatment and is very tired.  He is in his 80's and we would like to find someone who would like to make dinners for a week for him and his wife who is in her 90's.  We would pay for this to be done and would ask for the meals to be delivered.  Anyone in this area or know someone I could contact?  We live in NZ...a bit far to send dinners!

The Home and Community Care (HACC) program provides basic support services to some older people, people with a disability and their carers to assist them to continue living independently at home. This includes:

• support to participate in social activity in a group or one-on-one
• assistance with everyday household tasks
• assistance to enhance nutrition, function, strength, independence and safety
• assistance to support your independence in your personal care activities such as showering and dressing
• assistance to keep up with essential activities such as shopping, banking and maintaining social contacts

Another idea might be to order easy ready made meals which need minimum preparation from a local supermarket. The ordering could be done online by the OP and the couple would just need to microwave them, or put them in the oven. Or, they could have basic sandwich ingredients ordered in the same way ... sliced bread, meat, salad vegetables etc.

Since Ive been without a kitchen to cook in, and when I lack the funds to eat out, I uasally buy can foods that i can open with a hand crank and eat from the can. This last meal should keep me warm tonight. Red beans in chilli sauce. My plan is get under the covers and start making my own heat. I don't get this weather, too cold in the night and too hot in the day, it's confusing my, ,, i don't know, something...

Thank you for all the responses.  My uncle already gets a home based support service in to help with the housework, I think and has family living next door but they too are having treatment for cancer at the same time.  I am grateful for the suggestions and appreciate everyone trying to help.
