Malnutrition and Dehydration Are Big
Problems in Nursing Homes
By Jeff Stewart, The Bell Law Firm
If you are visiting a loved one in a nursing home
this holiday season, consider that malnutrition
and dehydration are two of the most common --
and most serious-- problems, found in nursing
homes. Some studies indicate that perhaps one
third of nursing home residents in the United
States suffer from them.
Jeff D. Stewar~
Malnutrition results when a person
does not receive the proper
amount of nutrients, either from
not getting enough to eat or from
getting food lacking in necessary
amounts of vitamins and minerals.
Dehydration occurs when a person
does not receive or cannot maintain enough fluids. Considering
that about 60 percent of the adult human body is water, the loss
of body fluids can be very dangerous. Both malnutrition and
dehydration can lead to other serious medical conditions and
deterioration in overall health.
Weight loss is one sign of malnutrition, but so are dizziness,
confusion, fatigue, mental decline and memory loss. Likewise,
thirst is one sign of dehydration, but so 'are lightheadedness,
fatigue, chills, dry skin and loss of appetite.
Nursing homes should evaluate and monitor each resident for
nutritional and dietary needs. Workers at nursing homes must be
trained to recognize and act when a resident is at risk of being
malnourished or dehydrated. But at some nursing homes, residents
receive improper portions at meals or reject food that is
unappetizing. Residents who need help eating or drinking don't
always get it. Sometimes, the problem is inadequate staffing or a
lack of workers with appropriate training.
If you suspect that a loved one in a nursing home is not getting
adequate nutrition or being kept hydrated, it might be a case of
abuse or neglect. Consider calling leaders in the field, such as The
Bell Law Firm of Charleston, which has successfully represented
many families in cases against nursing homes on behalf of abused
elderly residents and their families. The initial consultation is free,
and The Bell Law Firm gets paid only if the case is won. Getting
ready to put someone in a nursing home? Call for a free document
review. More information is
available toll-free at The Bell Law Firm...
