A resident is unable to cut their own food. What is the appropriate action?

Question

Accepted Answer

Cut the food into bite-sized pieces before serving. Cutting food into bite-sized pieces before serving allows the resident to feed themselves, maintaining independence and dignity. Limiting to soft foods removes food choices unnecessarily. Feeding when the resident can self-feed removes their independence. Asking family to help every time is impractical and unnecessary when cutting food is a simple solution.
