Philosophy
Fundamental network facilities are committed to providing complete medical and nursing care to patients with a variety of comprehensive medical needs. We recognize that adequate nutrition is necessary for effective healing and rehabilitation, and that it can impact directly on the amount of time it takes for a patient to improve or recover.
Nutritional support services include a comprehensive assessment of the patient's nutritional needs by a registered dietician. An individualized plan of care is developed with the patient and family in order to promote optimal nutritional levels.
