Did Your Family Member Suffer from Malnutrition in a Nursing Home?
Contact Watkins, Lourie, Roll & Chance, PC
Some of the reasons that people end up in long-term care facilities include the following:
- Family members cannot safely transfer them from bed to chair.
- No one in the family feels qualified or has time to care for an elderly or disabled person at home.
- Frequent medical care by doctors and nurses is needed.
- Activities of daily living cannot be performed independently.
- Nutrition and hydration need to be monitored.
Many elderly people lose their appetites and "forget to eat" over time. In a nursing home, it is expected that caregivers will feed residents at established mealtimes, and monitor their nutritional intake.
