Residents who need help eating and drinking depend entirely on staff. When a facility is understaffed or poorly supervised, residents can become malnourished or dehydrated, leading to infections, falls, kidney problems and rapid decline.
Warning Signs
- Noticeable weight loss
- Dry skin, confusion or extreme fatigue
- Untouched meal trays or no help at mealtimes
- Frequent urinary tract infections
How We Can Help
We review weight records, dietary plans, intake logs and physician notes to show whether the facility monitored and met the resident's nutritional needs.
