At The Law Offices of Joseph J. Cariglia, P.C., we believe in holding negligent healthcare workers and nursing home caregivers accountable for nursing home abuse. Our attorneys provide aggressive representation for victims of malnutrition and dehydration and their families in Massachusetts. With a wealth of experience and reputation for client advocacy, we seek to help clients obtain maximum compensation for the pain and suffering they have endured.

Our Attorneys Can Help

As with anyone, malnutrition and dehydration can lead to serious health problems and even wrongful death. Without proper nutrition and regular fluids, nursing home residents are in danger of developing:

  • Pressure sores and other skin diseases
  • Overall weakness or faintness
  • A weakened immune system
  • Mental fatigue, confusion and dizziness
  • Dementia
  • Organ failure
  • Other catastrophic injuries

Moreover, some elderly nursing home residents require specialized diets to accommodate unique health conditions or medication. It is the responsibility of all nursing home personnel — including kitchen workers — to know the dietary needs of their patients. We stand up to elder abuse and negligence on behalf of families throughout Massachusetts, taking decisive action to achieve justice for our clients.
