Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyers

FORT LAUDERDALE NURSING HOME NEGLECT / ABUSE LAWYER

A Nursing home’s primary aim is to Care for our loved ones especially the aged ones who are too weak to take care of themselves. Because of this necessity, we confide in them with lives of the family members we hold dearest.

What comes to mind when our loved one is neglected or abused? What springs up when our loved one isn’t getting the care the way he or she should?

REPORTED CASES OF NURSING HOME ABUSE AND NEGLECT

According to research, there are roughly 2.1 million reported cases of nursing home abuse and neglect annually. The horrible thing is that for every case that is reported, specialists believe that there are practically as many as five to seven unreported cases. Our loved ones have the right to be taken care of with dignity and reverence, and we believe that nursing home caregivers will give them that, but with findings like these, it’s obvious that some gruesome people slip through the cracks.

NURSING HOME NEGLECT IN FORT LAUDERDALE

There are currently 150 nursing homes and assisted-care facilities in the Fort Lauderdale area – many of them are within reach at the center of the city. Neglect comes in various forms, and it is not an easy thing to identify the symptoms. Nevertheless, malnourishment, failure to administer medications, unsanitary living (which includes soiled clothes or bed linens), and dehydration are all forms of neglect. Emotional neglect is also one thing our loved ones can suffer from, like when someone is ignored, left alone or treated differently from his or her peers.

SIGNS OF NURSING HOME NEGLECT

It’s hard to compare the symptoms of nursing home neglect with the behavior, appearance or condition of your loved ones. However, these signs can make you suspect that he or she isn’t receiving proper care in a nursing home facility.

  • Changes in personal hygiene 
  • Sudden weight loss
  • Preventable injuries from falls
  • Dehydration
  • Withdrawn behavior or other unusual changes in behavior
  • Lack of friendly interaction with home staffers
  • Malnutrition
  • Lack of close interaction with other residents
  • Preventable injuries from falls
  • Obvious environmental hazards (such as unsafe furniture, bad lighting, and slippery floors)
  • Bed sores or pressure ulcers

Nursing homes are presumed to have outstanding facilities, but only some possess these, as the real obstacle is from the facilities that always appear to be in perfect place while covering the abysmal and unhealthy conditions of the facilities from patients loved ones.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU EXPECT NURSING HOME ABUSE OR NEGLECT

If you have a suspicion that your parent, grandparent or other loved one is a victim of nursing home neglect in A Fort Lauderdale facility, it is of utmost importance that you speak up. You are his or her voice and sometimes talking to the director of the facility can make a huge difference.

However, you can also consider speaking to a nursing home neglect lawyer whose primary focus is the neglect of the elderly. The people responsible for injury to your loved one should be held accountable because nobody deserves to suffer under someone else’s “care.”
