For elders with a physical or mental disability, choking is a very real danger. Because many elders have difficulty swallowing, it’s the duty of a nursing home to properly supervise and provide assistance when eating, and to determine which foods are safest to eat. When somebody chokes, their brain is deprived of oxygen, which can lead serious brain damage and even death.
