Malnutrition in Nursing Homes
Nursing homes must provide the elder resident with proper food at the right time. The nursing home has the responsibility of ensuring that the dietary requirements of the elder residents are taken care of.
When it comes to food, the nursing home staff must provide all possible assistance to the elder resident including taking care of their dietary requirements and assisting them with eating if required. Not doing so constitutes negligence which is a form of nursing home abuse.
If the elder residents are not given food or if the dietary requirements of the elder residents are not taken care of or elder residents who require assistance while eating are not provided with the assistance, it can result in malnutrition of the elder residents.

• Dentures no longer fit
• Hair falls out
• Wounds that do not heal
