Orlando Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer
Helping Victims of Nursing Home Abuse Throughout Florida
Nursing home abuse and neglect is a widespread problem in the United States. It affects thousands of our nation's elderly and infirm — people who depend on long-term care facilities for the care they need. In Orlando and Central Florida, the abuse or negligence while taking care of senior citizens either by hired caretakers or their own family members is an unfortunately frequent occurrence. Elder abuse may take an active form - involving hitting, punching, kicking, restraining, or sexually assaulting a senior. Elder abuse may also be passive - failing to provide adequate nutrition, medical care, hygiene, or sufficient activity. Emotional elder abuse may involve isolating or verbally berating the victim. Elder abuse is a serious issue that can have dire consequences for the victim.
According to a 2001 congressional report, about one-third of nursing homes in the United States were cited for an abuse violation in a two-year period. Almost half of those violations were serious enough to cause actual harm to residents, or to place them in jeopardy of serious injury or death.
