Participant Rights
FreshMeals operates as a person-centered service. That means your preferences, dignity and participation are part of the service design, not an afterthought.
To be treated with dignity and respect
By every person who calls, delivers or coordinates your service.
To take part in decisions about your service
Your goals, routine and preferences shape the meal plan — not the other way around.
To choose
Cuisine, cultural and faith preferences, likes and dislikes, and how meals fit your household.
To meals that follow your diet order
Diet, texture and allergy instructions come from your care team; we follow them and confirm changes.
To communication you can understand
Plain language, large print on request, interpretation, and PA Relay 711.
To privacy
We collect the minimum information needed and keep referral information in an appropriate secure pathway.
To be free from discrimination
Service is not conditioned on race, color, national origin, language, age, disability, sex, religion or gender identity.
To raise a concern without fear
You can complain to FreshMeals, and you keep every right you have with your health plan or the Commonwealth.
Nondiscrimination
This does not replace your plan rights
Call and ask. We will explain your options and, if needed, tell you exactly who else you can contact.
