Nutrition Support and Tube Feeding

img

Nutrition Support is for patients unable to ingest or absorb adequate nutrients orally which requires them to receive special nutrition either through a needle or catheter to their veins, or through a feeding tube into their stomach. These ways of delivering nutrition are called either parenteral nutrition (through the veins) or enteral nutrition (through a feeding tube). Nutrition support service uses a team approach to administer and monitor this therapy in the hospital. The same nutrition support service may also arrange the transition from hospital to home for those patients who need to continue therapy long term. We at In-Home Care California provide this service for those being cared for at home. Our nutrition care provides adequate energy and protein to meet hyper-metabolic demands, decrease Catabolism and prevent protein and calorie malnutrition. This increases patients' ability to combat infection and accelerates wound healing. We have a group of nursing professionals and experts in Nutrition Support who can help our patients receive excellent nourishment via feeding tubes.
