Know how often meal help is really needed
Ask families about dietary restrictions, how often help is needed, and where meals will be prepared, then collect any current diet plan so you can see exactly what support is required before booking a care assessment.
The exact intake your meal preparation leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Meal Preparation — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified meal preparation lead should tell you
In-home meal planning, cooking, and food safety support for seniors with specific dietary needs, restrictions, or preferences that a family or care coordinator arranges on their behalf.
- This Meal Preparation Help
- Person Have Any Dietary
- Often Meal Preparation Help

The questions your team needs answered
Every meal preparation intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Who is this meal preparation help for? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Does the person have any dietary restrictions or special diet needs? | Knowing about dietary restrictions upfront lets you match the family to a caregiver with the right food-prep experience. |
| How often is meal preparation help needed? | Frequency needed indicates how much recurring staff time this account requires and drives most of the lead score. |
| Where will the meals be prepared? | In-home preparation locations score higher because they typically require more consistent, hands-on caregiver involvement than facility settings. |
| Do you have legal authority to arrange care services for this person? | Confirming legal authority to arrange care lets staff catch cases needing verification before scheduling an assessment. |
| How soon do you need meal preparation help to begin? | Start timeline separates families needing immediate help from those just exploring, guiding response speed. |
| Are there specific foods or meals the person especially likes or avoids? | Captures the detail in the patient’s own words so you’re briefed before the first call. |

| CRM routing | Sends qualified meal preparation leads with diet needs and urgency already logged straight into your CRM for scheduling. |
Common meal preparation lead scenarios
Daily meals, urgent start
A family needs daily meal help starting immediately for a parent with dietary restrictions living at home — the intake flags this as high value and urgent for same-week follow-up.
Adult child, no legal authority
An adult child is arranging care but has not confirmed legal authority to arrange services, so the lead should be flagged for a clarifying call before scheduling.
Facility resident, occasional help
A family requests occasional meal prep for a relative already in assisted living — lower weighted location and frequency mean this can route to a slower follow-up cadence.
Care coordinator exploring options
A professional care coordinator is just exploring options for a client with no set start date, letting you separate early-stage inquiries from ready-to-book families.

Meal Preparation lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle dietary restrictions?
The intake asks directly whether the person has dietary restrictions or special diet needs, then lets the family add specifics like liked or avoided foods in free text so your staff can match the right caregiver skill set before the assessment.
Can I tell how urgent a meal preparation request is?
Yes — the catalog captures how soon help needs to begin, from immediately to just exploring, so you can see which enquiries need a same-day response versus a routine follow-up.
What if the person filling out the form isn't the client?
The intake asks who the help is for and whether the person completing it has legal authority to arrange care, so you can spot cases needing a quick verification call before committing staff time.
Does location of meal prep affect lead scoring?
Yes — meals prepared in the person's own home or a family member's home score higher than requests tied to an assisted living facility, since in-home cases typically need more consistent staffing.
How is this different from your Companion Care or Light Housekeeping intake?
Meal Preparation intake is built around dietary needs, meal frequency, and preparation location rather than the social or cleaning-specific questions used on the Companion Care and Light Housekeeping pages.
