St. Charles Elderly Malnutrition Lawyers
Food and water are two of the most basic human needs. Why then would any nursing home patient ever suffer from dehydration or malnutrition? The answer is simple: abuse or negligence. If someone you love has suffered injuries resulting from dehydration or negligence in a nursing home, it is time to protect your loved one's rights.
At Clancy Law, our Chicago nursing home dehydration lawyers can help your loved one get the proper care needed and financial compensation he or she deserves. Our attorneys will work with you directly throughout the recovery process, so you can focus on your family and recovery.
The staff members at most nursing homes want to help, but they often simply do not have the resources to do what needs to get done. Dehydration and malnutrition are clear indications of neglect or abuse, so no matter what kind of relationship you have with the staff, something has gone wrong. Contact us today, so we can help you explore your options.
Recognizing the Signs of Dehydration and Malnutrition
When it comes to recognizing dehydration and malnutrition, you have to know what to look for. While many RNs, LPNs, and even CNAs can recognize the signs, they often do not have time to look carefully enough to see. Overworked and understaffed, they have a list of the most basic things that have to get done for every patient, every day. They often do not have the time to make proper observations and think about what might be going wrong.
If you have noticed significant changes in your loved one, it could be a sign of abuse. Our lawyers work with outside medical experts, and we can help you spot the signs of possible dehydration or malnutrition.
