Nursing Home Evaluation Checklist

 
You should be alert whenever you visit your loved one's nursing home.  The following are questions to ask yourself during each visit:
  • Do you notice signs that your loved one is suffering from dehydration (lack of water) or malnutrition (lack of food)?
  • Have you noticed the resident is less active or less able to move about?
  • Have you noticed emotional changes, mood swings, withdrawal, anxiety, or other fears?
  • Are residents dressed appropriately for the season and time of day?
  • Are the resident’s living quarters clean?
  • Are the resident's medical conditions being treated in a timely manner?
  • Does the resident seem to suffer from chronic viruses and/or infections?
  • Are all medications administered in a timely and appropriate fashion?
  • Has the nursing home staff delayed reporting an injury or incident to a doctor or to the resident’s family or guardian?
  • Has the resident suffered frequent falls or broken bones?
  • Does there seem to be adequate staff and supervision?
  • Are the caregivers ignoring the resident or describing him or her as a “burden”?
  • Does any caregiver react defensively to routine questions about the resident's care?
