Educate patients and caregivers on meal planning, food preparation, disease management, medication-nutrient interactions, and healthy lifestyle practices. Collaborate with physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and caregivers to coordinate comprehensive patient care. Monitor patient progress through ongoing evaluations and adjust nutrition interventions as needed to achieve desired outcomes. Assess food access, home safety concerns related to nutrition, and available support systems that may impact adherence to nutrition recommendations. Document assessments, interventions, care plans, and patient responses accurately and timely within the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. Participate in case conferences and interdisciplinary team meetings to support continuity of care. Requirements Bachelor's or Master's degree in Nutrition, Dietetics, or a related field. Current Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) credential and applicable state licensure preferred. Experience providing nutrition services in home health, community health, hospital, long-term care, or related healthcare settings.

Ability to perform comprehensive nutritional assessments in a home-based setting and develop individualized care plans. Proficiency in EMR documentation and compliance with home health regulatory requirements. Excellent communication, education, and counseling skills with patients, families, and caregivers. Ability to work independently, manage a flexible schedule, and travel to patient homes within the service area. Strong organizational skills and commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.
