Nutrition Support And Tube Feeding

Nutrition support for a fuller, richer life

Patients are administered specialized nutrition either intravenously via a needle or catheter, or through a feeding tube directly into their stomach. These methods of providing nutrition are known respectively as parenteral nutrition (administered through the veins) and enteral nutrition (delivered via a feeding tube).

Our services extend to individuals receiving care at home, in senior living facilities, or undergoing rehabilitation. Through our nutrition care program, we ensure the provision of sufficient energy and protein to address hypermetabolic needs, reduce catabolism, and mitigate protein and calorie deficiencies. This enhances patients' resilience against infections and promotes expedited wound healing.

Our In-Home Nutrition Care Services Include:

• Nutrition Evaluation
• Nutrition Counseling
• Modified Diet Suggestions
• Diagnosis-Based Diet Suggestions
• Education for Patients and Families
• Weight Loss/Gain Support
• Continued Assessment and Modifications
• Individualized Nutrition Planning

The main role of the in-home dietitian is to aid in keeping aging seniors at home. This is achieved through the prevention and treatment of malnutrition, improving overall nutrition status, and improving quality of life.
