As a carer for my Mum on NDIS, as well as a full-time student and coordinator of a child care centre, my day-to-day life is incredibly busy. With Mum’s limited ability, she can no longer cook and with my busy schedule and personal commitments, making quick, tasty, and healthy meals was just not possible.
Mum and I had tried a couple of different meal delivery services but found them to be unreliable and the food quality just wasn’t there. When Mum discovered Lite n’ Easy was a registered provider and she was NDIS approved for meal deliveries, we of course jumped at the chance to make life easier and healthier.
Now we don’t have to stress about finding the time to shop, plan and prepare our meals. This is really important to us as Mum cannot enter a shopping centre without experiencing discomfort. She can maintain her independence and autonomy by ordering online with Lite n’ Easy. The meals are always delivered in a timely manner, and they are straightforward to prepare and enjoy.
We both love the food and discovered new and exciting meals which have opened our eyes and tastebuds, to different cuisines and opportunities to combine different ingredients. We also have a choice in the size of the meal and seasonal variation in menus, so there is never a chance to get bored.
Mum has several diagnoses and disabilities that make shopping, preparing and cooking food challenging. In addition, these health issues require nutritious balanced meals to ensure longevity and energy to manage her daily life. Mum’s energy levels have improved since starting Lite n’ Easy, as has her enjoyment of food in general. She says, “to enjoy one’s meals is a beautiful and necessary part of life - even more so when one is disabled and struggling with health conditions”.
Having the ability to have a wholesome, healthy meal in a short amount of time, or be able to take it with me whilst I am on the go, is so important and has so many far-reaching benefits. As a carer, I also need support and anything that saves time whilst adding to my wellbeing in general makes a positive impact both for me and Mum.
