“I started the company as a way to improve the nutritional health of individuals, specifically seniors, who are living in long-term health facilities,” said Clifton Dawes, CEO of Meal Master. “Because of my own personal experience with a parent in an assisted-living facility, I thought it was important to give individuals a choice of quality, attractively presented, nutritional and great tasting meals appropriate for their dietary needs.”

“I believe senior citizens and those whose care is managed by others, should be able to maintain a healthy and enjoyable diet which ultimately is a quality of life issue,” adds Dawes. “I was disappointed with the quality of meals served to my mother and equally frustrated with my inability to be actively aware of her health which is why I developed Meal Master.”
