Cleveland Nursing Home Dehydration Lawyers · Ohio Nursing Home Malnutrition Attorneys
The Ohio Nursing Home Resident Bill of Rights provides that every resident must be provided a diet of food and liquid in accordance with their specific care plan. The meals are to be adequate to meet the nutritional needs of the patient, according to medical needs and accepted standards of care. If your loved one is exhibiting signs of malnutrition or dehydration, they may be symptoms of a medical condition that reduces the appetite. They may also be warning signs, however, that an overworked staff is not able to stay on top of your loved one's personal health plan. Ignoring nutritional needs in order to cut corners, however, makes the management company liable for damages for medical treatment and pain and suffering. In the event of gross negligence, significant punitive damages may also be awarded.
Families have been turning to Spangenberg Shibley & Liber to seek legal help for their loved ones in nursing homes and home health care settings for more than 65 years. Many of the types of cases we have handled successfully have helped shape elder abuse laws and nursing home residents' rights in Ohio. We are proud of our record of standing up and fighting aggressively for our clients — not just because our clients deserve compensation — but because vulnerable residents everywhere deserve protection from nursing home abuse and neglect.
