It is quite normal for a NH to ask what your/your husbands wishes are in the even of him needing resuscitation. It is always best for the staff to know beforehand.j have been asked by Nursing home to signe a D.N.R on my husband although he is quite well at moment , is this usual for nursing homes to do this , I would welcome some advice please.
when dad went into his care home last year this was one of the questions the manager asked - and I was glad, actually, that I could consider it at a time dad was fine so I wasn't under pressure during a crisis.....So, yes, I think it's a usual practice, nothing sinister.
