Florida Nursing Home Abuse Attorney
American family norms have been changing greatly in recent decades. People are living longer and having children later in life than ever before. The end result is that millions of Americans are left caring for elderly relatives and dependent children at the same time. Many of us are left with no reasonable choice but to place our elderly loved ones in nursing homes.
Unfortunately, sometimes we find that the nursing home personnel we have trusted are careless or even abusive. Florida nursing home abuse attorney Todd Miner is dedicated to helping abuse victims and their families. To learn how we can help, call us at 407-420-4040.
Acts of Elderly Abuse
Statistics show that reports of nursing home abuse and neglect are on the rise. In 2008, over 1,000 nursing homes were accused of hiring workers with histories of abuse. All too common forms of nursing home abuse and neglect include:
- Denial of necessary medical treatment
- Poor nutrition
- Unhygienic facilities
- Unnecessary physical or chemical restraint
- Threats and intimidation
- Physical or sexual assault
- Poor supervision of mentally or physically impaired patients
