Diet Manual Health Care Facilities

Diet Manual Order Form

Members of the New Jersey Dietitians in Health Care Facilities have written this diet manual for use by physicians, nurses, dietitians, food service managers, and other health care professionals as a reference guide for planning the nutritional care for residents of health care facilities.

The format is useful to explain the purpose of each diet, with descriptions, meal planning guidelines and a sample menu.  Many pages are appropriate as handouts to instruct residents and families.  Tabs separating the sections will make this manual easy and convenient to use.  The chapters address a wide variety of nutritional requirements, and are intended for adults 18 years or older.  A special section on feeding problems has been included to address the issues often faced in providing adequate nutrition for the resident in long term care.
