WHEN IT HAPPENS

It happens more than anyone wants to admit. A dietitian resigns without notice. A contractor doesn't renew. A CMS survey gets scheduled and your facility is suddenly without an RD.

Most firms take weeks to credential and place a dietitian. By then, the citation is issued.

RDNC maintains a nationwide network of pre-credentialed, background-checked RDs who can begin service in as little as 72 hours. Not 72 hours to start the process — 72 hours to start working.

See how we handle skilled nursing & LTC coverage and survey prep for facilities that want a standing partner before the next crisis.

When you need emergency coverage

01

Sudden resignation or termination of your staff or consultant dietitian

02

Surprise survey notification with incomplete nutrition documentation

03

Contract dispute or non-renewal with your current provider

04

Census spike or acuity change that overwhelms existing capacity

05

Corrective action requiring immediate nutrition services improvement

HOW THE 72-HOUR START WORKS

Three steps from crisis to coverage.

01

Call or submit a request

Call 888-502-2069 or submit an emergency request — we triage immediately and tell you exactly what happens next.

02

We assign a pre-credentialed RD

We assign a pre-credentialed RD from our network, based on your setting and EMR — already background-checked, license-verified, and insured.

03

Your dietitian begins service

Within 72 hours your RD is on the job — ready to assess residents, document care, and support your team.

72-Hour Deployment

PRE-CREDENTIALED RD DELIVERING CARE WITHIN 3 BUSINESS DAYS

WHY RDNC

A nationwide team of credentialed dietitians — ready the moment you call.

RDNC maintains a large, standing network of Registered Dietitians across all 50 states — each one already background-checked, license-verified, insured, and competency-tested. When you call, we're not searching for someone to fill the gap. We're matching you to a dietitian who is ready to start now.

Background-checked

Liability-insured

License-verified

Competency-tested

TWO DEDICATED CONTACTS

Even in an emergency, you're never on your own.

From the moment coverage begins, you're assigned two dedicated people — not a call center, not a rotating pool. The same dietitian every visit, and one account manager who knows your facility by name

ON-THE-GROUND CLINICIAN

Your dedicated Registered Dietitian

Assesses residents, documents care, leads survey readiness, and works directly with your nursing and food-service teams — the same RD every visit, never a rotating pool.

SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT

Your dedicated account manager

Your one name and number for scheduling, coverage changes, escalations, and anything that comes up. No call center, no queue — a person who knows your facility.

Both are assigned within the same 72-hour window — your team knows exactly who to call from day one.

We lost our dietitian on a Friday and RDNC had an RD supporting us by Tuesday. They helped us stabilize coverage quickly before survey.
