Compensation for Your Loved One’s Malnutrition and Dehydration Health Issues in Nursing Homes


Nursing home residents sometimes lose their appetite due to illness or certain medications, or sometimes they are simply picky eaters. However, it is the nursing home’s responsibility to ensure that all residents receive proper nutrition and hydration to maintain a healthy body weight. Each resident should be evaluated by a nutritionist and have a meal plan in place.

Sometimes appetite problems become so severe that the resident must be tube-fed. This should not happen unless it is absolutely unavoidable due to the resident’s health condition.
