Individuals with gastrointestinal tract may experience problems absorbing the needed nutrients. This can lead to malnutrition. Nutritional support can help these individuals to get enough nutrients that their body needs.
If you have a loved one who has trouble swallowing or has experienced malnutrition, nutritional support can be the best solution for him or her. The patient receives nutrients either through a needle or a catheter. These methods of feeding are called parenteral nutrition (through the veins) or enteral nutrition (through a feeding tube).
Our nutrition support team provides these services in the comfort of your loved one’s home. We will make sure to help improve your loved one’s health by administering alternative feeding.
- Carry out the required nutrition support
- Determine the necessary nutritional content
- Control the impact of infection (catheter)
- Monitor the patient’s progress
- Educate the patient and family about parenteral and enteral nutrition care
