Do you tailor your services to each client’s abilities and comfort level?
Every client is different, so we customize our support to match individual needs and preferences. Some clients prefer minimal interaction and benefit from simple, independent meal routines tailored to individual needs and comfort levels. (See our blog post) Others benefit from being hands-on and learning more about ingredient choices, cooking, portions, and more.
Everyone’s path is different and everyone’s image of success is different- CBC fosters confidence, independence, and long-term success for each client.
How involved is the client in the cooking process?
It is completely up to them. We take the time to understand each participants needs 1:1. Their abilities, goals, and comfort levels are all factors in after determining a culinary system that syncs best to their longterm goals.
I’m not sure how many servings to order, do you cook for the SDP participant or the whole household?
We will provide up to 40 servings of food per service visit, per SDP client.

Does food stay fresh for a week?
Yes, we recommend taking into consideration how much food can be consumed in a week when ordering. You can freeze meals such as lasagnas, pastas, proteins, casseroles, latin dishes, asian dishes and soups easily. We will provide clear reheating instructions. We can provide links to freezer safe dishes that we recommend, for your convenience (from Amazon).
What are your portion sizes?
We follow current food guidelines from the 2026 food pyramid. If stricter food portioning is a skill you would like to work on, we can adjust accordingly. If more generous portions are something that a client benefits from then we can adjust as well. Every aspect of our program can be adjusted to fit the needs of each client.
