And Meals on Wheels in a small community for a couple years. The meals are cafeteria style one meat entree with a carb a veg and a desert. No specialized diets unless you are in a big city and some senior center provides some specialized fare, which is a possibility since there are so many diabetics.

You might want to look into some of those food delivery services that have already prepped food or easy to prepare meals, they might have specialized diet options. I see ads for them all the time though I don't know if they have spec diets.
