Alabama Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers
There are a number of reasons elderly nursing home residents may have trouble eating or drinking: They may have trouble swallowing; they may be depressed and not feel like eating; dementia could play a role; it could even be something as simple as poorly fitting dentures.
Nonetheless, it is the nursing home's responsibility to ensure their residents are properly fed and hydrated. Failure to do so constitutes nursing home negligence, and could lead to severe health problems and even premature death.
Signs of malnutrition include sudden weight loss, depression, sunken eyes and bedsores. Signs of dehydration include cracked lips, sores around the mouth, and decrease mental capabilities. If you suspect your loved one is not getting the treatment he or she deserves, our attorneys are here to pursue justice and compensation.
