Nursing Home Assessment Tips
Visit during meal times
Observe residents who are being fed and see how much time the aide spends with each resident, and how much of the food is eaten. Check the residents in the dining room and see how many of them appear to be thin when compared to a general population of seniors. Be concerned if there appears to be more than a few thin residents. Check on the residents who are fed in their beds. Are the trays sitting in front of the residents without anyone assisting them? Are the aides running from room to room trying to feed bedridden residents? Is the food cold?
If possible eat a meal yourself at the nursing home to judge it's quality.
