Food service is one of the basic services provided by the ICF-IID to its clients. Careful attention to adequate nutrition and prescribed modified diets contribute appreciably to the health and comfort to the client and stimulate his desire to achieve and maintain a higher level of self-care.

The Food and Nutrition Services Department of an ICF-IID shall be directed by a Registered Dietitian, a certified dietary manager, or a qualified dietary manager. If a qualified dietary manager is the director, he/she must receive frequent, regularly scheduled consultation from a licensed dietitian, or a registered dietitian exempted from licensure by statute.
