Elder Abuse: Dehydration

Care facility residents can become dehydrated when they are not given sufficient fluids. Symptoms of dehydration include dizziness, confusion, constipation, fever, decreased urine output, and skin problems. Severe dehydration can lead to serious illness or even death.

It is the responsibility of care facilities to provide each resident with sufficient fluids to maintain proper hydration and health. Each resident should be provided a plentiful supply of fresh water or other beverages and be given any help or encouragement needed to drink.

Berman & Riedel, LLP has represented many nursing home and care facility residents throughout the State of California that suffered dehydration as a result of a care facility's misconduct. Berman & Riedel, LLP aggressively advocates for each and every client, successfully obtaining the best possible results where a facility has failed to prevent and treat dehydration.

If you or a loved one has suffered or suffers from dehydration, Berman & Riedel, LLP can offer the experience and skill necessary to provide you with sound advice on what your rights may be under the law. Contact an attorney at Berman & Riedel, LLP to discuss your legal options.
