A person in a "facility" is not a child. They can skip a meal. But if it's more than one meal, find out why they refuse to eat. Are their dentures poorly fitting? Are they having trouble swallowing? Does food taste badly (medicine related?)? Try different foods, or textures, flavors. Are they constipated? Lots of reasons older people stop eating.

What should a psw do if a resident refuses food?
If a resident refuses food, a personal support worker (PSW) should first respect their choice and ask if there's a specific reason for the refusal, such as discomfort or dislike of the food. It's important to offer alternatives or suggest a later meal. The PSW should document the refusal and communicate with the nursing staff to ensure the resident's nutritional needs are monitored and addressed. Additionally, the PSW should check in with the resident later to see if they are willing to eat at another time.

When a resident refuses personal care?
When a resident refuses personal care, it's important to respect their autonomy while also ensuring their well-being. Care staff should engage in open communication to understand the reasons behind the refusal and address any concerns or fears the resident may have. Offering choices and involving them in the decision-making process can encourage cooperation. If necessary, alternative solutions should be explored to maintain the resident's dignity and hygiene without forcing compliance.
