Stopping Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Once it is evident that nursing home or neglect is occurring, it is important that victims and their families speak out against the maltreatment.  The first thing people should do once they have been subjected to nursing home abuse or neglect is to report the poor treatment to the nursing home supervisors and administrators. 

According to Florida law and the Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987, after abuse or neglect has been reported, it must be dealt with and terminated.  The nursing home has to investigate any reports of neglect or abuse and deal with it accordingly.  If the nursing home administrators fail to address the report of abuse or neglect, then victims and/or their families should take immediate legal action, and speak with a skilled nursing home abuse and neglect attorney.

After a victim or family obtain a nursing home abuse and neglect attorney, the attorney can review the person’s case, look over evidence, investigate nursing home staff and procedures, and ultimately help the victim or his/her family member build a strong, sustainable case.
