New York Attorneys Fighting for the Rights of Nursing Home Choking Victims
Elderly residents of nursing homes are often provided with specialized diets, unique to their individualized nutritional needs and restrictions. When facilities do not follow these personalized diets to the letter, serious complications, such as choking and even wrongful death can occur. Often our elderly relatives are unable to properly chew or process certain types of food. The duty to design and monitor a correct and safe meal plan lies with the staff of the nursing home to which you entrust your loved one’s well-being. When the facility fails to fulfil its end of the bargain, you have a right to demand answers and recourse.
