Nursing Home Residents Should Get a Proper Diet
Two surprisingly common forms of nursing home abuse are malnutrition and dehydration. Not only are these serious issues on their own, they can pave the way for more challenging health problems. While these conditions are not necessarily the result of direct abuse, they are the result of neglect. With proper care, they simply should not happen.
At the Law Offices of Barry Levinson, our lawyers believe that malnutrition and dehydration in a nursing home are unacceptable. We are committed to taking action against nursing homes that neglect residents in this way.
There Is No Reason for Malnutrition and Dehydration
Nursing home residents suffer from starvation and lack of fluids for many reasons, none of which are acceptable. Sometimes, the reason is clear: either the food tastes bad or it is improperly cooked. Other times, the problem is not with the food, but with the way the food is served. Many elderly people need help eating. Nursing home staff should do more than simply put a tray down in front of them and leave.
Most nursing homes have dieticians on staff to provide guidance about proper nutrition. Not only should meals be prepared and served properly, they should be healthy, containing all the vitamins and minerals that an elderly person needs.
