Build a routine with the recipient, not around them
Living alone can make shopping and regular meals harder without removing the person's wish to choose their own food. Involve them in selecting the menu and ordering channel. A regular visit may offer welcome contact, but clarify its duration and purpose. The presence of a delivery driver is not continuous supervision of the home.
Agree a useful response to a missed handover
With the recipient's agreement, record who should be contacted if food cannot be delivered. Establish who pays and receives paperwork when a relative orders from elsewhere, and keep those details current. If meals begin accumulating uneaten, contact the appropriate support team to understand what has changed rather than simply increasing the number of deliveries.
