Nursing Home Testimonials

Sinéad provides nutritional plans for the residents in my father’s care home. My father has been struggling to maintain weight and to eat due to swallowing problems. Sinéad spent time to phone me and explain the right types of food my father can have. She spoke to the kitchen in the care home around suitable meal and snack options and emailed me some information about the types of suitable foods to help build my father up. She also recommended suitable nutritional supplements for him which he likes. It gave me a lot of reassurance to know that his nutritional problems were being addressed by a trained professional.

I am a registered Nurse working in a nursing home where Sinéad provides us with virtual dietitian reviews. This service works very well as we email through food charts and information about the residents. Sinéad speaks to us over the phone regularly to ensure the care plans are appropriate for the residents here and will link in with family members when required. This saves us time and referrals are always processed and completed efficiently. The process has worked very seamlessly.

Sinéad’s Nursing home reviews are always comprehensive and efficient. I would recommend this service for any other care home facility as it is very professional. Sinéad always responds promptly to referrals and queries which arise.

Sinéad gives a very comprehensive review of all our residents requiring dietician input in long term care. We have residents who have progressive dementia with very complex nutritional needs and medical history. Due to this complexity nutritional needs change, and Sinéad obligingly reassess when needed. All reviews are done in a timely manner when referral is sent ,no delay. Sinéad speaks to us by phone before sending a detailed written report with recommendations. Sinéad is very easy to talk to and is expert in her field. We really value her service. Sinéad always takes into account the likes and dislikes of the residents and it allows us to give person centred care. We also refer our respite admissions who need nutritional input, and Sinead liaises with them and their families, on discharge. This is a valuable service as you can see a change on next respite admission, due to her recommendations.
