The Diet Manual This manual was developed by Jacqueline Larson M.S., R.D.N. and Associates. The collaborative efforts of this group have resulted in a simple manual designed for use by physicians and health care professionals in providing nutrition care to individuals in Long Term Care. The Diet Manual is ideal for Skilled Nursing Communities, Assisted Living Communities, Board and Care Homes and Group Homes. The purpose of this diet manual is to establish a common language and practice for physicians and other healthcare professionals to use when providing nutritional care to individuals under the all aspects of long term care. Standard use of diet terminology can assist in providing a smooth transition for individuals transferred between facilities, and placed in Skilled nursing Communities, Assisted Living Communities, Board and Care Homes, Group Homes or other long term care facilities.
