If you are concerned about the cost of dental care, ask us about the Cheshire Fund. We are here to assist in covering the costs of dentures for elderly residents in nursing homes who might not otherwise be able to afford them.

I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with 30 years of experience, primarily in long-term care. I work with nursing homes, assisted living communities, rehabilitation facilities, older adults, and families to navigate the clinical and practical challenges of nutrition and aging.

My approach is grounded in evidence, experience, and an understanding that good nutritional care has to work in the real world. I believe the best care comes from listening —to residents, families, nurses, caregivers, and the other professionals who know them best.
