I can tell you from experience with my parents--hospitals, nursing homes, hospice facilities, rehab facilities, meals on wheels--they all have a high-carb, high-sugar menu. They are loaded with breads, rolls, grape juice, orange juice, apple juice, apple sauce, fruit cups in heavy syrup, etc. and you only get 1% milk.

I think any serious change of diet, especially in elderly patients needs frequent and ongoing monitoring - to make sure that their digestive system is able to adapt - especially to a higher fat diet - even if healthy fats. Also, I would imagine that the change would be best made gradually - while being monitored; otherwise there could be 'system' overload. I am not a dietitian nor medical professional; just seems common sense to me.;- but open to correction / comment.

Prob not just the keto diet, but any form of organic unadulterated fresh food. Esp. for those in assisted living facilities.
