Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Gainesville, Florida Attorneys

Putting an elderly parent or other loved one in a nursing home is a difficult decision no matter what the situation. And despite the best of intentions, sometimes nursing home abuse occurs.

Inattention, poor hygiene, improper medical care, negligence, as well as both verbal and physical abuse are all examples of what can go wrong in a nursing home. Signs of abuse can include, but are certainly not limited to, marked regression in the nursing home patient’s condition, apparent caregiver inattentiveness as well as poor environmental conditions in the home itself.

Florida has a thriving population of older residents. Many of those residents live in nursing homes and/or assisted living facilities and, unfortunately, sometimes abuse occurs.
