Our nutritionist thoroughly assesses the nutritional status of your loved one, evaluating dietary intake, medical history, current health conditions, and any specific dietary restrictions or requirements.
Based on this assessment, she creates personalized meal plans tailored to the individual's nutritional needs, medical condition, and dietary preferences. These plans may include adjustments to accommodate dietary restrictions such as allergies, intolerances, or medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
Our nutritionist provides education and counseling on various topics including healthy eating habits, portion control, meal preparation, and grocery shopping.
Continuously monitoring the progress of your patient, our nutritionist makes adjustments to meal plans as needed. This involves regularly reviewing dietary intake records, monitoring weight changes, and assessing overall health status to ensure nutritional goals are met.
Our nutritionist collaborates with other members of our home care team, including physicians, nurses, and physical therapists, ensuring coordinated care.
Our nutritionist assists patients in overcoming barriers to healthy eating such as difficulty chewing or swallowing, loss of appetite, or gastrointestinal issues. She may recommend specialized diets, nutritional supplements, or meal delivery services to address these challenges.
In addition to addressing immediate nutritional needs, our nutritionists focus on promoting long-term health and well-being. They educate individuals on the importance of nutrition for overall health, disease prevention, and management of chronic conditions.
