Nursing Home Neglect

Nursing Home Neglect Lawyer in Boca Raton Florida is a wonderful place to spend one's “golden years.” With its bright sunshine and peaceful climate, senior citizens from across the world migrate to Florida after retirement. As time advances, however, many find themselves in need of some sort of assisted living facility or nursing home.

The definition of a “nursing home” is expansive. Some people require only a moderate amount of care, and move into an assisted-living facility that provides just that. Other people, as they age, require more care that can be found at a nursing home. Sadly, no matter what type of residence you or your loved one is in, if any aspect of their health is dependant upon the actions of others, there is the potential for abuse and neglect.

Nursing home abuse and neglect can take many forms. It can be intentional or accidental. It can be caused by conditions within the facility, policies established by the facility, or the staff working in conjunction with the facility. Abuse can range from inattention to poor maintenance, to actual physical harm and a host of other problems.

Signs of abuse include rapid weight loss, unexplained injuries, sudden onset of disease and, basically, any marked decrease in a resident's physical or mental condition.
