Dehydration and Malnutrition Are Often Preventable

Residents depend on nursing home staff to ensure they receive adequate nutrition and hydration. When facilities fail to meet these basic needs, residents can experience serious medical complications.

Our Minnesota nursing home neglect lawyers represent residents harmed by preventable dehydration and malnutrition.

• Kidney failure
• Pressure injuries
• Infections
• Cognitive decline
• Increased risk of death

Common Causes
