Home delivery
Since 1 January 2025, the City of Luxembourg has been providing a Meals-on-Wheels service for citizens aged 65 and over, and for anyone who with a medical certificate. The meals are well-balanced and adapted to the nutritional needs of elderly people, and are prepared and delivered chilled to the home.
Distribution
Meals are delivered from Monday to Saturday and on public holidays, between the hours of 9:00 and 11:30. Sunday meals are delivered the day before. Delivery times may vary depending on the number of meals to be delivered each day.
Meals and menus
Each meal consists of a starter, main course and dessert. Beneficiaries can choose between two menus: a classic menu or a vegetarian menu. Other options are available as well. Texture-modified meals and special diets are also available with a doctor's prescription.
The meals can be reheated on an induction hob provided by the City's Service Seniors (Department of Senior Services), or in a microwave oven using suitable crockery.
Application
You can sign up using the below application form, which must be returned to the Service Seniors. Applicants will be contacted to arrange a home appointment. A representative from the Service Seniors will provide information on how the service works and explain the contract that the applicant will need to sign.

Payment
A meal costs €15. Bills are sent monthly by post and payment is made by direct debit.
Cancelling and renewing meal deliveries
If a beneficiary wishes to cancel a meal or renew meal deliveries, they must inform the Service Seniors 24 hours in advance, before noon, on weekdays (Monday to Friday). For cancellations and delivery renewals for Sundays and public holidays, the Service Seniors must be informed before noon on the last working day.
