Consequences of Malnutrition
Signs of malnutrition can be challenging to detect and include a variety of symptoms, such as irritability, weight loss and headaches. Our nursing home elderly abuse attorneys are knowledgeable on ways to investigate nursing home malnutrition effectively and efficiently to minimize harm. We use patient charts, doctor reports and medical tests to evaluate the following types of malnutrition issues:
- Diminished appetite
- Lack of healthy food
- Physical decline
- Inadequate food intake
- Poor food options
- Medication side-effects
- Poor nutrient absorption
Once we have uncovered instances of nursing home malnutrition as a result of negligent care or intentional acts, we will vigorously fight on your behalf. It is important to hold the facility responsible for the failure to care for the patient so that this doesn't happen to other nursing home or assisted living home residents.
Death From Malnutrition Complications
Nursing home elderly abuse can even cause fatal complications. If a resident is unable to eat healthy or appropriate choices based on a medical condition, he or she may suffer from fatal illnesses. Our nursing home abuse attorneys can help you through the difficult time after a preventable loss. We will do everything that is in your best interests to hold the nursing home responsible for your tragic loss.
