Malnutrition in Nursing Homes

North Carolina Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers

Malnutrition is one of the most common types of nursing home negligence claims. Nursing homes throughout the United States have a legal obligation to ensure their residents and patients receive proper food, water, and nutrition. When a nursing home neglects a resident by failing to provide adequate food, water, or necessary vitamins or supplements, the resident may suffer from dehydration and/or malnutrition.

If you believe your loved one is suffering from malnutrition in his or her nursing home, reach out to Lanier Law Group right away for qualified legal counsel. Our North Carolina nursing home abuse and neglect attorneys can help you evaluate your case and determine whether you are entitled to compensation for your damages.
