Nursing homes use paid feeding assistants to help residents eat and drink at meal times. These trained employees allow nurses and nurse aides to focus on residents' other health care needs. Under F-tag 373, nursing homes must ensure that feeding assistants are properly trained and work within the limits of their roles—or they may face CMS survey citations.
