South Carolina Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys

Victims of nursing home abuse and neglect are often helpless in defending themselves against malnutrition, dehydration and bedsores. Nursing homes and other healthcare centers are licensed by the state and must meet quality standards. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse occurs all too often.

If a loved one has been victim of nursing home neglect through malnutrition, dehydration or bed sores, contact the lawyers at McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC.

Malnutrition

Proper nutrition is essential in maintaining the health of an elderly individual. Without it, they may suffer a host of medical problems, from infections and pneumonia to decreased mobility and even death.

It is the responsibility of the nursing home or care center to provide each resident with proper nutrition. If you suspect that a loved one is being malnourished in a nursing home, it is important to seek legal counsel immediately.

Dehydration

Dehydration in nursing home residents should be taken very seriously. The effects of dehydration can be severe, even causing premature death.

Nursing homes and other care facilities are required to meet the basic needs of their residents. Proper hydration is essential in maintaining the health of any individual. When nursing homes fail to provide adequate nourishment and hydration for their residents, elderly victims suffer.
