Tube Feeding

The Nourish Program offers tube feeding (enteral nutrition) support through Apria Healthcare. Apria Healthcare is the nation's leading provider of home tube feeding, servicing over 22,000 patients each year. Our specialized program reviews your needs to ensure that you have the education, the clinical resources and the products and services needed to enhance your quality of life. Our mission is to:

• Nourish the body and mind (through the appropiate provision of nutrition therapy)
• Nourish consumer driven, compassionate healthcare
• Nourish consumer education and independence
• Nourish industry advances in enteral and parenteral nutrition

Apria's specialized tube feeding team contacts every new patient to conduct a comprehensive nutrition screening. The screening process identifies any potential nutritional risks which require further attention, as well as establishing a baseline for monitoring each patient's response to therapy. Apria registered dietitians follow up on all patients with nutrition risk, conducting a more complete nutrition assessment and sharing their recommendations with the patient's physician.

All patients are re-screened routinely by Apria's specialized enteral team to assess patient compliance, monitor response to therapy, and identify early signs of problems such as dehydration or weight loss.
