How do you spoon feed a resident at nursing home?

1. Wash your hands and the resident's hands. This is important to prevent the spread of germs.

2. Sit the resident up in a comfortable position. Make sure their head is slightly elevated and their feet are flat on the floor.

3. Place a napkin or bib under the resident's chin. This will help to catch any spills.

4. Hold a bowl of water that's about room temperature.

5. Hold a spoon.

6. Scoop up a small amount of food with the spoon and bring it to the resident's mouth. Be patient and wait for them to open their mouth before you put the food in.

7. If the resident has difficulty swallowing, give them small bites of food and encourage them to take their time.

8. After the resident has finished eating, wipe their mouth and hands with a napkin.

9. Dispose of the napkin and bowl properly.

10. Wash your hands again.
