Comprehensive Dietitian Consulting Services
Specialized Support for Excellence in Senior Nutrition
At DigitalRD, our dietitian consultant services go beyond typical consulting. We deliver hands-on, practical solutions that address the real-world challenges of nutrition management in long-term care environments. Our team brings decades of direct experience in senior living facilities to every client relationship. This practical knowledge allows us to offer dietary consulting that makes an immediate, measurable difference in resident outcomes and operational efficiency.
Serving senior care facilities across Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana, we've developed a reputation for excellence in dietitian consulting by focusing exclusively on the unique nutritional needs of aging populations. Where other consultants may spread their expertise across multiple specialties, our singular focus as a dietitian in long-term care means we understand the specific nutritional challenges, regulatory requirements, and implementation barriers that senior care facilities face daily.

Tailored Consulting Models
Understanding that each facility has unique needs, staffing patterns, and resources, we offer flexible consulting approaches that can be tailored to your situation:
ON-SITE
Our hands-on dietitian consultation services bring expert support directly to your facility on a schedule that works for you—whether weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. During these visits, our consultants work directly with your team, observing processes, identifying improvement opportunities, and providing immediate guidance that drives real-time improvements.
ONLINE
Our online dietitian consultation services leverage secure digital platforms to provide comprehensive support, regardless of geographic constraints. This approach includes in-depth document review, virtual meetings with your team, and continuous availability via phone and email, ensuring you always have expert guidance when you need it.
HYBRID
Many facilities benefit from our hybrid model, which combines scheduled on-site visits with ongoing remote support. This approach provides the benefits of direct observation and personal interaction while maintaining continuous accessibility between visits, creating a seamless support system for your dietary department.
