How Our Shopping & Cooking Service Works

We make enjoying delicious meals a simple, four-step process:

  • Plan & List: We start with a conversation about your food preferences, create a meal plan, and build a detailed grocery list together.
  • Personal Shopping: Our helper goes to your preferred local store with your list to pick up all the necessary, fresh ingredients.
  • In-Home Cooking: We come to your home, unpack the groceries, and prepare delicious meals right in your kitchen—whether it's one meal for that day or several for the week.
  • Tidy Up & Stock Up: After cooking, we clean up the kitchen and neatly store your groceries and your ready-to-heat meals with clear labels.

Fresh Groceries, Healthy Meals: The Benefits

Our combined shopping and cooking service is ideal for:

  • Seniors who want healthy, nutritious meals without resorting to frozen dinners.
  • Managing special diets like low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, or low-fat.
  • Eliminating the stress and physical strain of carrying heavy grocery bags.
  • Anyone who loves the taste of home cooking but finds the end-to-end process difficult.

…GoGoGrandparent brings a truly personalized culinary experience home to you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shopping & Cooking for Seniors

How do you screen the helpers who will be shopping and cooking for me?
Your trust and safety are essential. All helpers undergo a rigorous vetting process that includes background checks and interviews focusing on reliability, trustworthiness, and a respectful attitude for handling both your groceries and working in your home.
Can I choose the recipes or meals?
Absolutely! This service is all about you. You can provide us with your cherished family recipes, or if you prefer, our helpers can suggest simple, delicious, and healthy meal ideas based on the groceries we buy for you.
How do you handle dietary restrictions or allergies during shopping and cooking?
We take dietary needs very seriously. We will carefully document all restrictions and allergies, read labels while shopping to ensure ingredients are safe, and then prepare meals that strictly adhere to your requirements.
Can I choose which grocery store you shop at?
Yes. We will shop at your preferred local grocery store to ensure we get the brands and quality of ingredients you know and trust.
How do I pay for the groceries?
We have a simple and transparent system. Typically, the helper will purchase the groceries and provide you with the receipt for easy reimbursement. We will explain the process clearly when you book the service.
What if I just need grocery shopping and not cooking?
Yes, we can provide personal grocery shopping as a standalone service if you still love to cook but need help with the store runs.
What if I have the groceries but just need help with the cooking?
Yes, that’s an option too. If you've already handled the shopping, our helper can focus solely on meal preparation for you in your kitchen.
How many meals can be prepared in one visit?
This is flexible. We can cook a single meal for the same day, or we can use the time to do "meal prep" for the week from the groceries we've purchased, preparing several different dishes that can be easily reheated.
Do I need a smartphone app to book this service?
No, you do not need a smartphone or a computer. GoGoGrandparent was built to be simple and accessible. You can arrange everything and communicate with us over the phone, and we will handle all the coordination for you.
Are your cooking and shopping services insured?
Yes. For your complete protection and peace of mind, all services are performed by fully insured professionals.
