Greenville Dehydration Attorneys
If you have a spouse, parent, or other family member in a nursing home, you expect that their most basic needs will be met. If you have reason to believe that the nursing home is not providing your loved one with adequate food or drink, it is important to take action before more harm is done.
At the law office of Christian & Davis, LLC, we represent nursing home neglect victims and their family members. Besides helping clients seek the compensation they deserve after experiencing neglect, abuse, or malnourishment in a nursing home, we help clients choose nursing homes that don't have a history of committing such acts against the vulnerable.
To learn more about your legal options if you suspect a loved one is experiencing nursing home abuse, contact a personal injury lawyer to schedule a free consultation.
Dehydration
Dehydration is a very dangerous condition for the elderly. Complications from dehydration can include migraines, digestive complications, increased risk for urinary tract infection, collapse, kidney/renal failure, and more. Nursing homes are required to provide residents with adequate liquids to maintain hydration. When they fail to do so, they put their residents at risk for injury and in serious cases, death.
Weight Loss
It can be difficult to determine if your loved one's weight loss is the result of normal physical changes in the body, or due to nursing home neglect. Our firm is skilled in the investigative steps that can determine the cause of your loved one's weight loss. We will evaluate feeding, nutrition, and medical records to determine if the nursing home's actions or inaction contributed to or caused your loved one to lose weight. Inaccurate or false charting is often discovered in nursing home cases, which is further evidence of carelessness.
Each medical malpractice attorney at our firm is a member of The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long Term Care (formerly NCCNHR). We are personally and professionally committed to making nursing homes safer for residents.
