Choosing to place a loved one under the care of a nursing home facility is a decision that requires careful planning and deliberation. Despite the fact that nursing home facilities are required to provide proper care to all nursing home residents, this is not always the case. Unfortunately, the number of nursing home abuse cases continues to rise every year. Nursing home abuse such as nursing home malnutrition are some of the most common types of abuse elder patients often endure. Malnutrition can have dire detrimental effects to any person, but this hazard is increasingly significant to children and the elderly. Nursing home malnutrition may cause an already ill elderly person to grow more ill. Bedsores, comas, organ failure, and wrongful death may be the result of malnutrition. It is of crucial importance that you seek the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer if you believe a loved one has been victim to nursing home abuse.
