About This Document: When it comes to providing care for long-term care (LTC) residents, one size does not necessarily fit all. In today's nursing homes, care is provided to people from a variety' of backgrounds who suffer from diverse conditions, including chronic diseases like obesity. Determining facts like a facility-level obesity rate would help LTC managers design care delivery systems that meet the needs of this special resident population. Nursing homes with high obesity rates will require additional resources in developing these care systems. For example, a nursing home manager may want to appoint a Quality Improvement Team to find ways to change the facility culture. This interdisciplinary team should include individuals with expertise related to the care of obese residents. Individualized care is the best practice for nursing homes. Staff will be most effective in providing individualized care when nursing home leaders recognize the populations served and develop procedures for appropriate care delivery systems for special populations in their facilities.
