Nursing Home Abuse Helping Seniors for 40+ Years

Florida Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys

Fighting for the Victims of Elder Abuse Nationwide Since 1984

From 2011 to 2015, there was a 74% increase in reports of nursing home abuse. As one of the oldest populations in the U.S. (1 in 5 Florida residents is 65+ years old), it’s vital that nursing homes in our state are held accountable for causing harm to the elderly. Without accountability, nursing homes will be allowed to physically, verbally, or sexually abuse countless people.

Our Florida nursing home abuse attorneys are committed to holding every nursing home in the state accountable for patient harm. As one of the most accomplished litigation firms in the nation, STFBC is uniquely equipped to investigate and litigate against elder care facilities. Our history of victory on behalf of the vulnerable as well as our renown in the arena of medical malpractice allows us to address the complex legal issues surrounding nursing home abuse.

Florida Nursing Home Residents Have Rights

Nursing home abuse can take numerous shapes, which is why vigilance and awareness is vital to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. While some abuse certainly has physical signs and symptoms, some forms of abuse are invisible.

Nursing home abuse can include:

  • Hitting or physically harming the resident
  • Sexual abuse or rape
  • Denying food or water
  • Denying comforts or dignified accommodations
  • Stealing money or defrauding residents
  • Neglecting a patient’s medical needs

Florida law dictates that nursing home residents all have a right to independent personal decision-making, which means no nursing home resident can be forced to participate or act against their wishes. As long as a resident is not harming themselves or others, there is zero reason for any nursing home employee to use physical force.

Nursing Home Abuse Abounds Due to Understaffing

Nationwide studies show that 91% of nursing home facilities are understaffed to some degree, and nearly half of all nursing homes have half as many staff members as they need to provide adequate care. When nursing homes are understaffed, it’s far more likely that patients will be neglected. This can have a catastrophic effect on a resident’s mental and physical health. Additionally, low staffing means abusive or malicious employees can go undetected for longer.
