Nursing Home Abuse

 
Sunny clear skies and warm weather year round has made Florida one of the leading retirement capitals of the world. A premier choice for senior citizens, the number of individuals entering Adult Living Facilities and Retirement homes has grown rapidly. Families rely on these businesses and their employees to care for those they love that are in need. Unfortunately, every year our senior citizens in Florida are injured and sometimes die as a result of the negligence, mismanagement, and lack of personal attention by staff members at these businesses.

This abuse often goes undetected for a substantial period of time before loved ones are alerted or become aware of mistreatment. It is imperative that family members keep a close watch on their loved ones, their living facility and staff members. If you have a concern about mistreatment, malpractice or abuse in a nursing home you can contact Florida Department of Children and Families (1-800-96-ABUSE) and call our offices Toll Free at 1-877-813-HURT.
 
Nursing home residents’ rights are guaranteed by the federal 1987 Nursing Home Reform Law. The law requires nursing homes to “promote and protect the rights of each resident”. Therefore, no nursing home patient should ever become a victim of abuse. Although we hope you and your loved ones never have to experience such treatment, rest assured that if you do Robinson & Shah will be there protecting the rights of you and your loved ones.
