In recent years, many skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) have experienced a shift in focus toward shorter-term, higher-acuity, and more medically complex residents. These older adults typically have a higher risk of hospital readmission due to issues such as chronic diseases, weakened immune systems, malnutrition, and limited mobility. Readmissions are a financial burden on SNFs and detrimental to seniors’ health outcomes overall. Rehospitalization is not always avoidable for this fragile group; however, SNF leaders continue to seek out and implement successful strategies to reduce the stress associated with transfers between care facilities and improve residents’ quality of life. One such strategy is nutritional interventions, which have emerged as a crucial approach in preventing hospital readmissions and promoting overall health and well-being among this vulnerable population.
