From first conversation to first cook session, usually in under a week — then we take the whole kitchen routine off your plate.
Tell us the situation. Justine listens and asks the right questions about the diet, the kitchen, and the goal — a quick call, zero pressure.
We confirm Foundation or Coordinated based on the diet, propose a weekly menu, and lock in a recurring cook slot.
Justine arrives with groceries (or shops with your card), cooks 8 fresh meals, portions and labels them, and sends a family update.
Five-plus years in adaptive cooking, senior nutrition, and in-home life-skills support. Justine founded Well Prepped Life after watching her own family navigate aging and mobility challenges — and seeing how much a little hands-on kitchen help could change someone's quality of life.
Every session is rooted in respect, patience, and the belief that eating well shouldn't require giving up the foods you love or the independence you've earned.
Most families find us during a specific moment. If one of these sounds like your week, we can help.
Discharge planners send your parent home with a binder of instructions. Recovery depends on real food in real portions. We handle the kitchen part — high-protein, anti-inflammatory, or post-surgical menus — while you focus on everything else.
Recovery meal plan →Standing at the stove isn't safe anymore. Kidney-friendly, diabetic, low-sodium, soft/pureed — the diet matters and a frozen tray doesn't cut it. We cook fresh and deliver it, the way their doctor laid out.
Medical-diet meal plans →Familiar comfort foods, dementia-appropriate textures, and a steady weekly rhythm that doesn't require your parent to remember anything. The caregiver gets a written report every week.
Memory-care nutrition →The 15 minute call is free and you walk away with actionable insights either way. No high-pressure pitch, no commitment, no strings.
Love your first week or we re-cook it free.
$180/week (Foundation) or $200/week (Coordinated medical-diet plan) plus groceries at cost (~$30–$60/week for one senior). Both tiers cover 8 fresh meals cooked by a ServSafe-certified chef and delivered — never frozen — about $22–$25 a meal. Coordinated adds medical-diet management (kidney-friendly, diabetic, soft/pureed textures, post-surgery, dementia) and a written weekly family report. No subscription, cancel anytime.
Medicare does not cover fresh meal delivery. Some Medicare Advantage plans cover short-term medically tailored meals after a hospital discharge, but general weekly meal delivery is not a covered benefit. Most families who hire Well Prepped Life spend less per month than a single day in a skilled nursing facility.
Usually within the week. Book a free 15 minute call, or start an order directly from the menu — no card needed — and your first delivery is typically scheduled within 7–10 days. After a hospital discharge, call directly and we can often get the first delivery out within 48 hours.
Well Prepped Life serves Mountain View, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Menlo Park, Atherton, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Campbell, San Jose, Redwood City, San Mateo, Burlingame, Milpitas, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Fremont, Walnut Creek, and Marin County.
Most senior meal delivery ships frozen, mass-produced trays from a national kitchen — one fixed rotation for everyone. Well Prepped Life is fresh, never frozen: the same chef cooks your parent's meals each week, tailored to their exact medical diet (diabetic, kidney-friendly, soft/pureed, dementia-appropriate) instead of a generic menu.
Justine Sanidad is ServSafe Food Handler certified and has 5+ years of experience in adaptive cooking and senior nutrition. Documentation is available on request. Every batch is cooked following commercial-kitchen food safety practices, then delivered fresh.
The Coordinated Meal Plan tier ($200/wk) is built for this. We handle kidney-friendly, diabetic, soft/pureed textures, post-surgical high-protein recovery, dementia-appropriate (familiar comfort foods), low-sodium for heart conditions, and anti-inflammatory menus. We work directly from your doctor's dietary guidelines.
Yes. Alongside medical diets we regularly cook fully vegan and vegetarian weekly menus, and postpartum meal plans built for recovery — iron-rich, one-handed-friendly, freezer-batched for night feeds. Everything is cooked fresh and delivered, never shipped frozen, and the menu is tailored to you or a loved one rather than pulled from a fixed rotation.
Yes, any time. There's no subscription, no contract, no cancellation fee. Skip a week for travel, pause for a family visit, or stop entirely — just give us a few days' notice so we can adjust the shopping.
Based in Mountain View. Regular visits in Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, plus Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Fremont, Redwood City, San Mateo and surrounding communities.
