 |
In a recent episode of the Connectors Edge Podcast, hosts Marian LaSalle and Ricky McKenna welcomed Shonah Jefferson, the owner of Chefs for Seniors Houston, to discuss her mission of providing personalized, in-home meal services tailored for seniors.
Jefferson, who has been at the helm since 2018, emphasized that her service is more than just about food; it's about fostering connections and treating each client like family. She stated, "We are not in the food business; we're in the people business, and the way we serve people is through food."
The conversation highlighted the flexibility of the service, accommodating various dietary needs and preferences. Clients can choose from an extensive menu of over 175 items, with options for customization to suit specific health conditions such as renal diets or food sensitivities. Jefferson noted, "Our goal is to treat each and every one of our clients as if they are a beloved family member."
McKenna, who has worked alongside Jefferson, shared her experiences, emphasizing the personal connections formed with clients. She remarked, "You kind of become part of the family as the chef because they look to you to really feed them."
Jefferson's commitment extends beyond meal preparation. She actively engages in community outreach, conducting cooking demonstrations in partnership with organizations like the American Heart Association and Oak Street Health. These initiatives aim to educate seniors on preparing healthy meals at home, ensuring that even those who may not afford the service can benefit from nutritional guidance.
For those interested in experiencing Chefs for Seniors Houston, Jefferson is offering a special promotion: $25 off the first two services for clients who mention the podcast. She can be reached at 832-956-1848 or via email at shauna@chefsforseniors.com.
As the episode concluded, Ricki McKenna encouraged listeners to share their thoughts and experiences in the comments, fostering a community dialogue around senior nutrition and independence. |
