Medically Tailored Meals

Nutri-care Clinical Trial

Tailored Nutrition

Medically Tailored Meals provide a variety of food options and nutrients while allowing for customization to meet the nutrition needs of individuals. Meals can be tailored based on energy needs, preferences, dietary restrictions, and texture. For example, tailored meals include, but are not limited to; high-protein and high-calorie, low-spice, heart-healthy, and mechanical soft/pureed options to meet the different needs of those that are most vulnerable to malnutrition.

Convenient Nutrition

Medically tailored home-delivered meals lift the burden of grocery shopping, meal planning, and food preparation which serve as barriers to optimal nutrition for individuals trying to manage health conditions and the demands of daily life. Having nutritious meals delivered to an individual's doorstep saves time and effort thus improving their nutrition security. Nutrition access can be a powerful tool for improving health outcomes and the management of chronic health conditions.

Evidence-Based

Medically tailored meals can help individuals adhere to their prescribed treatment plans by providing meals that align with medication requirements, such as avoiding certain food-drug interactions or ensuring the proper timing of meals in relation to medication intake. Additionally, adequate nutrition is crucial for post-hospitalization recovery. Medically tailored meals can support individuals in their recovery process, helping to prevent complications and reduce the risk of hospital readmissions. These meals are designed to meet nutritional needs during the critical recovery period.
