Sometimes the most important conversation during a nursing home visit happens when no one else is listening.
If possible, spend some private time with your loved one. Ask how they are being treated, whether they feel comfortable asking for help, whether anyone has made them feel afraid, and whether their needs are being met.
Pay attention to hesitation as well as words. A resident may be embarrassed, worried about causing trouble, or afraid that speaking up could affect their care.
Create opportunities for honest conversations and remind your loved one that their concerns matter.
