A well-balanced diet is crucial for health at any age, but for seniors it takes on even greater importance. According to the National Resource Center on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Aging, 1 in 4 older Americans has poor nutrition, leading to weight issues, muscle weakness, and increased vulnerability to disease. Additionally, seniors can often find it challenging to follow a nutrient-rich diet, due in part to changes in appetite, social isolation, and inconsistent access to healthy food.
Join DispatchHealth’s Advanced Care Regional Nursing Director Michelle Marti, MSN, BSN, RN, as she shares essential strategies for assessing nutritional status in older adults and promoting a healthy diet and lifestyle.
In this webinar, learn more about how to:
- Determine nutritional status
