If your loved one has experienced malnutrition or dehydration in a Columbia nursing home, you should not hesitate to take legal action. Call our offices today at (803) 350-9230.
Causes of Malnutrition in Columbia Nursing Homes
One of the primary responsibilities of nursing home staff is to ensure that residents are provided with the nutrients they need. Failure to do so is never acceptable. When malnutrition occurs, it is often because of one of the following:
- Inadequate staffing or training
- Intentional abuse (for discipline or otherwise)
- Lack of individualized care
- High nursing home turnover
No one should have to face the overwhelming reality of nursing home abuse alone. The malnutrition lawyers of the Goings Law Firm, LLC are here to stand by you and your family in Columbia.
