Karla Moreno, MDA, RD

My first job as a Registered Dietitian was with a school meal vendor. I realized that this path wasn’t the right path for me. It was clinical dietetics that was more of a calling to me, and so I accepted a job as a consultant dietitian for skilled nursing homes to gain experience. Since then, I have worked in skilled nursing homes and always find that there is something new to learn or expand on.

In LTC, our main focus is enhancing the quality of life of the residents. You constantly have to find that fine line between what is best nutritionally for the clients and what is truly best for the clients in terms of their quality of life. Often your most important job is to advocate for the clients and their wishes.
