Our client, who was residing in a nursing home, had difficulty speaking English and communicating with the nursing home staff. In addition, she was having difficulty with her tube feeding and was frequently aspirating the nutritional supplement which created additional health concerns. Our Elder Care Coordinator suggested that the nursing home staff elevate her bed while being tube-fed to prevent the aspiration from occurring at each feeding. This solved the problem immediately.
