Nursing home abuse is a major concern for families.  More than three million Americans rely on the services of a nursing home and most of these individuals are vulnerable.  While many nursing homes provide quality care, others frequently neglect their residents, which can lead to detrimental injuries.

Understaffing, poorly trained attendants, high turnover rates and overall negligence often lead to neglect or abuse of nursing home residents.  If you suspect that your family member has been the victim of nursing home abuse in Florida, you need to take action immediately.  Contact an experienced Palm Beach nursing home abuse lawyer at Fetterman & Associates - The Law Team to find out what you need to do to protect your loved one.

Call us today at 1-800-LAW IN FL (529-4635) for a free legal consultation regarding your Florida nursing home abuse case.  You will be able to speak directly with a Florida nursing home abuse attorney.

Nursing home facilities are supposed to provide a safe environment where aging individuals can receive the care they need.  Choosing a nursing home is therefore a big decision.  Most families spend a great deal of time selecting what they feel is the right facility.  They check the rating of the nursing home, stop by frequently and review recent inspections.  Unfortunately, even some of the more reputable nursing homes have been known to commit elder abuse.


Nursing Home Abuse Injuries

There are a number of obvious signs of nursing home abuse, but other times it is difficult to detect.  Some of the most common nursing home neglect and abuse injuries include the following: 

  • Bed sores or pressure sores
  • Falls
  • Malnutrition
  • Dehydration
  • Bone fractures
  • Medication errors
  • Bruises
  • Cuts
  • Burns
  • Head trauma
  • Failure to supervise
  • Physical abuse
