Nursing homes are places where loved ones pay to ensure the highest and most effective care at a time in their lives when they need it the most. Nursing homes are places where people who need significant care can usually find it. While nursing homes in Florida aren’t only for the elderly, our state has one of the largest concentrations of retirement aged communities and nursing homes for the elderly in the country. Unfortunately, Florida’s nursing homes are also the site of far too many accidents, injuries, negligence, abuse and even death.

Nursing homes must legally ensure the safety and security of all of their residents. A Florida nursing home is also required to provide adequate staffing and continuous care, particularly for people who have serious illnesses or injuries and need extra attention. When these homes fail to provide their mandated levels of care, patients are often injured or their existing illnesses are worsened. In the worst case scenario a patient may die if not properly monitored or cared for.

It is important to seek independent medical attention following any injury or problem sustained while at a nursing home in Florida, especially in the Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach or Boca Raton areas. It is also important not to sign or agree to sign any settlement documents with anyone before contacting our law offices to find out your rights. Nursing homes insurers may try and persuade a family to concede to some settlement that is often lower than they are legally entitled to.
