Mary has always enjoyed cooking and her passion has been a huge part of the success at Chefs for Seniors. She was working in the business for two years when she learned that the owner would be retiring and in January 2025 she took over the business.
“I chose to take it over because I really do believe in what this service provides. I had a very close relationship with my own grandmother, and I saw the way her cooking brought our family together. Also, my husband’s grandmother had to go into assisted living because she wasn’t eating and taking care of herself. Even in assisted living, it was a struggle for the caregivers to get her to eat, so I’ve seen firsthand what a lack of nutrition does to an older person. It’s not just about the food either, it’s about the relationships with my clients. It makes me feel good when someone is excited to see me and I know that I’m adding to the joy and well-being of their life,” says Mary.
Who would not be interested in having a personal chef, right? Some of the questions that people ask most often are:
Do we have to be home during the cooking?
You don’t have to be home during the chef’s visit, although most clients enjoy chatting with their chef. Arrangements can easily be made for the chef to cook while you’re not home, as long as they have access to the kitchen.
Can we have meals delivered?
The primary benefits of our service are the level of customization offered by having your own personal chef prepare meals just for you and the unique experience during a service day. They can accommodate almost every dietary restriction and they will clean your kitchen when they are done.
