Meals at Home

Get home-delivered meals after leaving the hospital

You can get a week of healthy, precooked meals delivered to your home after an inpatient hospital stay. These meals let you focus on recuperating while getting good nutrition. This benefit is part of your Aetna Medicare Advantage plan and is offered at no cost to you.

How many meals can members have delivered?

14- two meals a day, for seven days.

What are the meal options? 

Each meal includes a chef-inspired entrée, such as pasta, stews and salads. They also feature fruit, vegetables and desserts. The menu is developed by registered dieticians, so all meals are low in sodium, fat, cholesterol and sugar, and high in vitamins and minerals. All meals are easily prepared, shelf-stable and frozen.
