Placing your loved one in a nursing home is a difficult decision to make, and is often made with the expectation that they will receive the best possible care.

The Devastating Impact of Malnutrition and Dehydration

When nursing homes fail to provide adequate nutrition and hydration, residents may experience:

  • Weight loss and muscle wasting
  • Weakness and fatigue
  • Cognitive decline
  • Increased vulnerability to infections
  • Bedsores and skin issues
  • Falls and fractures due to weakened muscles and bones
  • Decreased quality of life
  • In severe cases, wrongful death

The toll on quality of life is immeasurable, robbing residents of their dignity and well-being. This form of neglect is not only a violation of trust but a grave injustice that demands swift and resolute action.

Identifying Signs of Malnutrition and Dehydration

It is essential to recognize the signs of malnutrition and dehydration in nursing home residents. Common indicators include:

Malnutrition

  • Noticeable weight loss
  • Sunken eyes or cheeks
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Dental problems
  • Cognitive changes

Dehydration

  • Dry, cracked lips and mouth
  • Dark urine or infrequent urination
  • Sunken eyes
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Dizziness or confusion
  • Skin that remains "tented" when pinched

If your loved one is exhibiting any of these symptoms, immediate medical attention is critical. Healthcare professionals will closely monitor vital signs, electrolyte levels, weight, and overall clinical condition to ensure progress. Depending on the severity and duration of malnutrition, physical therapy, and rehabilitation may be needed to rebuild strength and functionality.

How an Attorney Can Help

If you suspect that your loved one is suffering from malnutrition or dehydration in a nursing home, a lawyer can assist you by:

Investigating the Case

An attorney will conduct a thorough investigation to gather evidence of neglect or abuse, including medical records, witness statements, and facility inspection reports.

Filing a Lawsuit

A lawyer can help you file a lawsuit against the negligent nursing home to seek compensation for your loved one's injuries and suffering.
