Description
Discover the power of nutrition with the Long Term Care RD podcast—your go-to resource for Registered Dietitians thriving in skilled nursing, nursing homes, and long-term care or ANYONE working with older adults to seniors!
Hosted by Michelle Saari, MS, RD—a seasoned clinical dietitian with over a decade of experience optimizing nutrition for older adults—this podcast delivers practical, evidence-based strategies you can implement right away to improve resident outcomes and streamline your workflow.
Each episode breaks down real-world challenges in senior nutrition: from mastering the Nutrition Focused Physical Exam (NFPE) and writing bulletproof PES statements, to managing unintentional weight loss, dysphagia with IDDSI, pressure injuries/wound healing, frailty, sarcopenia, probiotics, dementia feeding strategies, end-of-life care, and more. You'll get actionable tips on assessments, interventions, charting hacks, interdisciplinary teamwork, survey prep, and avoiding burnout—tailored specifically for LTC and clinical RDs working with complex caseloads.
Whether you're a newer RD building confidence in long-term care or a veteran looking to save hours each week, tune in for:
- Step-by-step guidance and case examples from the trenches
- Summaries of the latest research and guidelines, translated into everyday practice
- Time-saving tools, templates, and quick wins
- Encouragement and community vibes for dietitians who often work solo
Episodes are concise, engaging, and perfect for commutes, rounds, or lunch breaks—because your time matters.
