Nutritional Counseling

Nourishment That Honors the Whole Person

Overview

What Is Nutritional Counseling?

Our registered dietitian and nutritional counselors provide practical, compassionate guidance on eating and hydration that supports comfort and respects the patient's wishes.

How It Works

Nutrition in hospice shifts focus from treatment-oriented diets to comfort and enjoyment. Our team helps families understand changes in appetite that often accompany end-of-life illness, and provides guidance on foods and hydration that maximize comfort without causing distress.

All services are provided at no cost under the Medicare and Medi-Cal hospice benefit. Serene Hospice never denies care based on ability to pay.
