The changes in the long-term care landscape mean that many of our facilities are starting to admit Residents with different health conditions, including mental health conditions, than they had in years past. While mental illnesses and the medications used to treat them can often have an effect on weight and appetite, many clinicians do not feel fully knowledgeable to give great recommendations to cope with these illnesses. We will work to learn more about these illnesses, how they can affect nutrition status, and how we can help those Residents.
