Malnutrition is more than simply not getting enough to eat. It means starvation — not getting enough vitamins and minerals. It often means being seriously weakened, being at higher risk for fractures, bedsores and even death. It should never happen in nursing homes, but it develops because staff fails to provide basic feeding for people who depend on them.
Dehydration occurs from not getting enough water to sustain healthy function. Like malnutrition, it can lead to a wide range of serious problems — and even death. Like malnutrition, serious dehydration should not happen in a nursing home.
