Assisted Living Facility & Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Every day thousands of frail elderly residents suffer injuries and die from bed sores, medication errors, malnutrition, dehydration and preventable falls. Needless abuse and neglect in America's nursing homes and assisted living facilities rob too many families of cherished loved ones.

While most facilities advertise that they provide 24 hour skilled-nursing care and assistance, in many instances, these same facilities are frequently understaffed by underpaid and sometimes under-qualified employees. Florida's nursing home and assisted living facility residents are guaranteed the right to adequate and appropriate care. They are also guaranteed the right to maintain the fullest measure of dignity while residing in a facility. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities must be held accountable when they fail to provide adequate care to the patients entrusted in their care. At Rosenthal, Levy & Simon our mission is to see that they are held accountable.

If you believe that you or someone you know has suffered from neglect or abuse while residing in a nursing home or assisted living facility, you have the right to have your questions answered and to have your suspicions addressed. The simple fact is that the law gives you the right.
