Weight Loss
A loss of 5% or more of body weight in one month is usually considered unhealthy. It is important that the resident’s diet is balanced and nutritious and that staff spend enough time feeding people who can’t feed themselves.
These findings are publically reported by the US Department of Health and Human Services on Nursing Home Compare. http://www.medicare.gov/default.asp
