DIETICIAN
Dietician
At St. Agatha Home Healthcare LLC, we are believers in the age old saying that ‘food is medicine.’ Good nutrition is important for staying healthy, managing diseases, and recovering from illnesses.
Unfortunately, many elderly people have trouble selecting and preparing the best meals for their circumstances. The good news is that with a bit of guidance, senior citizens can get on the right track and avoid many preventable diseases from developing in the first place.
We are proud to offer one of the leading dietician services in Henderson which helps senior citizens achieve proper nutrition and maintain good health.

Personal Diet Plans vs Fad Diets
Although infomercials and other advertisements make it seem like ‘one-size-fits-all’ diets can solve many problems, the truth is that no such diet exists. Every individual has personal circumstances that must be considered when planning and changing one’s diet. It is even more important for senior citizens to consult a dietician, or a physician, before changing diets because doing so could result in negative health outcomes.
Registered dieticians are trained professionals in the medical industry and are also certified within their state. This makes them a trusted professional for guaranteeing the best health outcome. The rigorous certification process that dieticians complete is designed so that patients receive unbiased nutritional guidance which is tailored for their personal needs.
At St. Agatha Home Healthcare, all of our dieticians are Registered Dieticians with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). They also hold bachelor’s degrees, or higher, in programs that are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).
Finding Nutritional Services without a Physician Referral
Physician referrals for nutritionists are necessary when a patient wants their insurance to cover consultations with a dietician.
