Protecting the Interests of Nursing Home Residents
Later in life, it can be much more difficult for people to take care of themselves. Even the most routine tasks, like eating and drinking, can often become a considerable challenge. In some cases, it is in the person's best interests to enter a nursing home where trained caregivers are able to better care for those needs.
We rely on the nursing home to provide for all of our loved ones' needs, and staff members have a responsibility to see that all needs are accommodated. Nowhere is this more true than with regard to making sure that our loved ones' nutritional needs are met. Any shortcoming in this area can put our loved ones at risk of serious health issues.
Take Action if Your Loved One Is Being Neglected
Malnutrition and dehydration in the elderly continues to be a significant problem in Texas nursing homes despite specific laws dealing with the facility's duty of care to its residents. If your loved one is suffered any kind of ill effect because the staff failed to provide for his or her nutritional and dietary needs, there may be grounds for a negligence claim.
At the law firm of John K. Zaid & Associates, PLLC, we have substantial experience with a variety of negligence claims against nursing homes. We understand how upsetting it can be when the facility you relied to care for your loved one betrays your trust and jeopardizes your loved one's health. We will do everything in our power to see that the negligent parties are held responsible for any harm your loved one has suffered.
