NURSING HOME NEGLIGENCE – DEHYDRATION

Dehydration, like malnutrition, is a common sign of nursing home abuse and negligence. At least one-third of the 1.6 million nursing home residents in the United States may suffer from malnutrition or dehydration, according to the Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation.

THE DANGERS OF DEHYDRATION

Dehydration, or failing to properly hydrate, may be linked to improper staffing or a lack of individual care at a nursing home. Nursing home administrators sometimes fail to adequately staff a nursing home to boost profits. Sadly, the elderly residents suffer as a result. When this happens, the nursing home has failed to meet the government-established standard of care for residents.

In such cases, an experienced Santa Rosa nursing home abuse lawyer can argue the facility operators were negligent. The nursing home operators may be liable for the losses or damages suffered by your loved one. It's crucial that residents are routinely checked on and monitored. You may have a case of dehydration-related negligence if the staff failed to provide an IV or failed to notice the resident was not drinking enough fluids.
