Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Attorneys dedicated to helping elderly victims and their families.

As the population continues to age and to live longer and longer, more seniors will end up in assisted living and in nursing homes. While many facilities are great alternatives to having aging relatives live in-home, some seem to put profits above care and offer sub standard care.

If you believe that the care or treatment your relative received from a nursing home, home health aide or assisted living community was substandard, negligent or outright abusive you should contact a Florida nursing home neglect lawyer as soon as possible.

Nursing home neglect occurs when a medical provider fails to provide a patient the level of care that they require. It is essentially failing to provide a standard of care consistent with their individual needs but includes basic hygiene, assistance with meals and help with mobility. Nursing home neglect can take many forms but among the most common signs are:

  • Poor personal hygiene
  • Unsanitary or just unclean living conditions
  • Physical manifestations of a lack of nutrition
  • Declining or loss of mobility
  • Personality changes such as aggression, agitation, anger or withdrawal
  • Injuries that seem to have no valid explanation
  • Improper billing practices
