Nicole Karongo
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Helping families and care teams bridge the critical nutrition gap after discharge — reducing setbacks, supporting recovery, and easing caregiver burden.
HIPAA-Compliant · In-Person & VirtualWho This Is For
The period immediately following discharge is when nutrition risk is highest — and when the right support makes the greatest difference.
Adults recently discharged from hospital, SNF, or inpatient rehab with ongoing nutrition and hydration needs.
Pre- and post-surgical nutrition guidance to optimize healing, preserve muscle, and reduce complications.
Older adults experiencing weight loss, poor appetite, dehydration, or progressive weakness and frailty.
Clients managing diabetes, hypertension, cardiac disease, CKD, or other complex nutrition-sensitive conditions.
Clients waiting for Medicaid approval who need interim nutrition support to prevent deterioration.
Family members and professional caregivers navigating complex home-based nutrition and care decisions.
Why It Matters
Not just wellness advice. Registered Dietitians provide evidence-based medical nutrition therapy that directly impacts clinical outcomes.
Early nutrition intervention after discharge addresses the leading modifiable factor in 30-day readmissions — inadequate intake, dehydration, and malnutrition.
Seamless coordination with RN, PT, OT, and PCP — documentation notes provided for continuity across the care team.
Identifies early red flags — poor intake, unintended weight changes, GI intolerance, supplement misuse — before they become medical events.
Translates complex therapeutic diet instructions into realistic, home-based strategies that families and professional caregivers can actually implement.
