Abstract：
:Unintentional weight loss is a common problem among nursing home residents and one that can lead to adverse and costly clinical outcomes. Observational studies have shown that residents often receive inadequate and poor-quality feeding assistance during meals, and residents consume few calories between meals from oral liquid nutritional supplements or other food and fluid items. Improvements in the adequacy and quality of feeding assistance either during or between meals have been shown to improve residents' daily oral food and fluid consumption and promote weight gain. However, these feeding assistance interventions require significantly more time than nursing home staff currently spend on feeding assistance care activities. Alternative staffing models are explored through the recent federal "paid feeding assistant" regulation and an observational tool is described for use in practice to improve feeding assistance care.
