New Jersey Malnutrition Lawyers

When your elderly loved one lives in a nursing home, he or she fully depends on the nursing home’s staff for care. This care includes providing residents with proper and sufficient nourishment. Nursing homes assume responsibility for feeding your loved one and keeping him or her as healthy as possible.

Unfortunately, some nursing homes malnourish their patients, putting those elderly individuals in great danger. If your loved one was the victim of malnutrition in a nursing home, contact the New Jersey malnutrition lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., today at 800-346-5529.

Signs of Malnutrition

When your elderly loved one is the victim of malnutrition, he or she will likely show signs of malnourishment. These signs may include:

  • An increased look of frailty
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • A lack of energy

If your loved one suffers from any of these symptoms, then he or she may be malnourished. In these cases, the nursing home may be guilty of abuse. Nursing homes may malnourish their patients when they are trying to cut back on costs or when they are inattentive and fail to properly feed their patients.

Regardless of the cause, you may be entitled to financial compensation from the nursing home responsible for your loved one’s unnecessary pain and suffering. For more information, discuss your case with an experienced New Jersey malnutrition lawyer today.
