Registered Dieticians

The Registered Dietitian (RD) in Long-Term Care helps plan your diet to meet your nutritional needs, taking into account your likes and dislikes, religious practices and cultural customs, within our available resources. The RD works with the food service staff to ensure your diet meets the Canada Food Guide requirements. RD services are available to all residents upon referral and a referral can be made by you, your family or any member of the health care team. The RD sees people on a priority basis, and may also initiate referrals to other team members, when appropriate.
