In Good Hands with Care and Empathy
I was recently part of a mediation for a friend, who was being represented by the Harvey, Foote & Baker Law Firm. It was a long day. It was a hard day. But I was so glad my friend was in the hands of Dusti Harvey and Jennifer Foote. So smart and so diligent in making sure my friend was going to get what she needed and deserved. There was also an abundance of kindness and empathy in that room, which made a deep impression with me. The room we were in was comfortable and warm. All the other staff we met were so very nice. It all made for a better day.
No one wants to need to file a suit over nursing home abuse or for wrongful death or for personal injury, it’s all too painful to deal with. But if you do, I cannot highly recommend enough Harvey, Foote & Baker Law Firm. These people made what I was anticipating to be a horrible day, be a bit lighter and a feeling of being taken care of. We all need that during a time like this.
A big thanks to them.

Gratitude for Dusti Harvey & Jennifer Foote
There aren't enough words to express the gratitude I have for Dusti Harvey, Jennifer Foote, and their staff. The Harvey & Foote Law Firm pursued a case involving the wrongful death of my sister. Although there was no amount of money that could undo the suffering my sister endured prior to her death, the settlement we received was more than I could have hoped. With their help, I feel like I did right by my sister's memory.

Great Communication and Professionalism
The Harvey and Foote law firm settled a wrongful death case for our family involving a nursing home. The process for me was hard to deal with due to the loss of our loved one. Dusti and her staff eased this by good communication, updates, several scheduled milestones where we had a chance to ask questions and were given the process and what the next phase would bring. As a team, we would approach each step going forward. This case ended in a settlement, but I had the confidence that if we were going to trial, we would be fine. This helped in negotiation and peace of mind. I would recommend the Harvey and Foote law firm to anyone who needs help in this type of case, and will say the entire staff was always courteous and professional every time I reached out to them.

Held Accountable for Pain and Suffering
While trying to function during a difficult time with my husband being ill, and going through so much with hospitals and rehabs, Harvey Law Firm was able to help us navigate the legal process in which we knew that those who added to my husband’s suffering and pain were held accountable. The dedicated team of professionals at Harvey Law Firm kept us informed and helped us to understand all the series of steps to accomplish what was necessary to follow through the legal process. My family and I can move forward now because of their help. Thanks!

A Huge Settlement Surprise
Harvey and Foote surprised my stepfather with a huge settlement. He never had to do anything.
Dusti, Jennifer, Amanda, and the entire staff were always helpful and welcomed our family members to ask questions along the way.
They earned their reputation with integrity and hard work.
They will work for you until you reach a settlement, and they won't let you down. They will always be here for you.
On behalf of our family, my brother, Don, Donna, David, and Phyllis, we thank you.

I feel like they represented us well and did all they could to help our family. I highly recommend this firm.

If malnutrition occurs due to negligence in a nursing home, legal steps can include consulting with an attorney specializing in nursing home abuse to evaluate the situation. They may help file a complaint, pursue compensation for harm suffered, and ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent recurrence. Documentation of the resident's condition and care is essential in these cases.
How does malnutrition affect the elderly?
Malnutrition can lead to severe health issues in the elderly, such as weakened immune function, muscle loss, and increased risk of falls and fractures. It can worsen existing chronic conditions and delay recovery from illnesses. Proper nutrition is crucial to maintaining their overall health and well-being, supporting cognitive function, and improving their quality of life.
Who is at risk of malnutrition in nursing homes?
Residents with certain medical conditions, dietary restrictions, cognitive impairments, or those who have difficulty eating unassisted are at higher risk of malnutrition in nursing homes. It's vital for care providers to identify at-risk residents and ensure they receive the necessary support and nutrition to meet their health needs.
What are signs of malnutrition in seniors?
Signs of malnutrition in seniors include significant weight loss, decreased appetite, fatigue, and weakness. Other cues can be confusion, slowed wound healing, dry skin, and dental issues. It's important to regularly monitor these signs in elderly individuals, especially those living in nursing homes, to ensure they receive necessary dietary interventions.
