Personalized Dietary Counseling

Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining comfort, strength, and quality of life—especially during hospice care. Our personalized dietary counseling services are designed to help patients meet their unique nutritional needs with compassion and flexibility. Whether managing a chronic condition, dealing with loss of appetite, or adjusting to swallowing difficulties, our counselors work closely with you and your care team to provide guidance that respects both your medical needs and personal preferences.

Services include:

  • Individualized nutrition assessments to evaluate current dietary intake, nutritional status, and any challenges related to eating or digestion.

  • Custom meal planning and recommendations based on the patient’s condition, such as cancer, heart failure, dementia, or gastrointestinal disorders.

  • Support for common hospice-related issues like loss of appetite, taste changes, nausea, dry mouth, and difficulty swallowing—offering realistic and comfortable solutions.

  • Caregiver education on meal preparation, texture modifications, and safe feeding practices to ensure mealtimes are both nourishing and low-stress.

  • Flexible, patient-centered approach that honors food preferences, cultural values, and the patient’s right to choose what and how they eat.

  • Nutritional supplements guidance, including when and how to incorporate them in ways that support energy and comfort without overwhelming the patient.

  • Ongoing follow-up and adjustments as the patient’s condition changes, ensuring dietary strategies remain effective and appropriate throughout the care journey.
