| Home tube feeding is an excellent alternative to hospitalization or long-term care. With a clinically based program overseen by our registered dietitians, we ensure that each new enteral patient is screened for potential nutritional risk. | |
| A comprehensive nutritional screening process not only identifies potential risks that will require further attention, but establishes a baseline to monitor response to therapy. Our dietitians follow up on all patients with nutritional risk, conducting a more complete nutritional assessment, and sharing recommendations with the patient's physician and clinical caregivers. |
