Dietician/Nutritionist Services
Good nutrition is needed to promote healing and good health. Illness can cause a need to adapt food intake or limit certain types of foods. Diet counseling in the home lends an opportunity to meet on a one-on-one basis and answer questions. The dietician uses knowledge about proper nutrition to evaluate intake, calculate nutrient needs and develop individualized meal plans.

  • Our dietician participates in TV programs as well as speaks to various organizations.
  • Appropriate handouts are given to clients and follow up visits with telephone calls are made.
