The transition from assisted living to skilled nursing care is often prompted by complex medical needs that assisted living cannot meet, with key indicators including frequent health declines, increased falls, severe memory issues, and caregiver burnout. Families should recognize these signs early to discuss options with healthcare providers and prepare for the emotional and logistical aspects of moving to a facility that offers comprehensive medical support.

Dementia is characterized by cognitive decline, with nutrition playing a vital role in brain health; while no specific diet can prevent or reverse it, a nutrient-dense diet rich in antioxidants and healthy fats may support cognitive function. The MIND diet, which emphasizes beneficial foods and limits processed items, along with proper hydration and individualized meal strategies, can enhance the well-being of dementia patients.
