Providence Place Clinical Nutrition Service

Clinical Nutrition Service is provided to clients and residents at Providence Place by a Registered Dietitian.

Nutrition and diet are an important part of managing many health problems. As well, healthy eating and good nutritional status help maintain a person's health and wellbeing.

Clinical Nutrition care includes: nutrition assessment and intervention, accurate calculation and formulation of therapeutic diets if necessary, nutrition education and counselling, nutrition support for tube feeds, assessment and treatment for dysphagia (swallowing disorder), and for clients or residents identified at high nutrition risk.

A referral may be made to the Dietitian for nutritional assessment of a client or resident or for any client or resident on a therapeutic diet.
