Neighborly Care Network's Nutrition Services program includes:
With Nutrition Risk Reduction service, Neighborly's licensed dietitians conduct a Nutritional Assessment and Evaluation of clients identified as being at high risk of malnutrition. A dietitian works with the client to develop and implement a Care Plan. The plan includes follow-up visits to the senior by the dietitian to ensure there is positive progression in the senior's nutritional recovery.
Fees and Payment Options
Nutrition Risk Reduction Counseling: $50.00 per hour
(provided by a licensed dietitian)
Neighborly also offers one-on-one Nutrition Counseling by licensed dietitians. Often, seniors at risk of malnourishment just need to be taught the basics of maintaining a healthy diet. Once aware of the healthiest foods for their particular situations, seniors can independently maintain good nutritional health.
Nutrition Services funding sources include:
- Older Americans Act
- Medicaid Waiver
- Community Care for the Elderly
- United Way
- County and Municipal Grants
Private donations and support are also a big help.
