We have ongoing training for our dietitians on documentation, wound care, physical assessments, weight loss, survey procedures and issues, charting to prevent legal issues, dietary cost control, and other issues pertaining to long term care. Many of our RDs hold the prestigious recognition of Board Certified Specialist in Gerontological Nutrition (CSG)
We work hard to stay on the cutting edge of any areas pertaining to or affecting skilled nursing care. We are active in the state and national organization - The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics practice group, Dietitians in Health Care Communities.
We also coordinate and teach the Association of Nutrition and Foodservice Professionals (formerly DMA) approved Dietary Manager course through Blinn College - See our DM Class Page for more details.
