Nursing Home Dehydration and Malnutrition Lawyers in Chicago, IL

Nursing Home Dehydration and Malnutrition Overview

Individuals trust a nursing home staff to provide the care and attention that elderly loved ones need later in life. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for nursing homes to be understaffed or rely on poorly trained staff members. If your elderly loved one has suffered nursing home neglect, it is wise to contact a skilled Chicago attorney at Steinberg, Goodman & Kalish.

Not only are nursing homes responsible for day-to-day dietary requirements, they must also pay special attention to side effects of medication. If they are negligent in their duties, residents can suffer devastating injuries or illnesses. It is our goal to hold them responsible for their negligence and ensure you recover the full and fair monetary compensation that will allow you to pay for the proper care of your elderly loved one.

Both dehydration (the lack of water) and malnutrition (the lack of proper food intake) can lead to conditions ranging from bedsores to symptoms mirroring dementia. If you notice a difference in attention, lack of focus, fatigue or loss of balance it is crucial that you contact an attorney at Steinberg, Goodman & Kalish in Chicago.
