Harrisonburg Malnutrition & Dehydration lawyers
serving the entire state of virginia
Qualified care providers in nursing homes give our loved ones the specialized attention to health and nutrition they need in their old age. Sadly, some people who are employed by nursing homes are not capable of providing that level of committed care. Staff and management who fail to provide nutritious meals for patients subject them to the severe health effects of malnutrition and dehydration — these negligent individuals could be required to pay damages to your family.

- Muscle weakness
- Fatigue
- Sores of the mouth and thrush
- Vision problems
- Confusion
- Unusual irritability and other behavioral changes
- Skin conditions
