My mother has been in a nursing home since the middle of September. She has had steady mental deterioration, 5 or six UTI s . She has no teeth, and yet they continue to feed her pizza, potato chips, sandwiches, things she could not chew if she wanted to. She has lost 55 pounds, and looks like a holocaust victim. Am I crazy to assume the care here is less than ideal?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Make sure who are feeding her, the nursing home people, or your own people. The nursing home people do not have any concern about feeding. If your own people are feeding who are to be blamed.  If someone is feeding her, how she is eating them without teeth. If she is taking them, she should gain weight, or someone else is taking them on her name.  Anyhow she is in the nursing home for the sake of treatment, the treatment part should be satisfactory. That is what about you should be concerned.  Wishing her a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
