Types of Neglect and Abuse in South Florida

South Florida is home to a large population of elderly people who reside in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other long-term care facilities. Unfortunately, abuse and neglect run rampant throughout many of these homes.

As our Palm Beach Gardens nursing home abuse attorneys have seen on countless occasions, abuse can take many forms. It can be an intentional action that causes physical or emotional harm to a patient, or it can be neglect in providing for an elder’s basic needs. Some of the most common types of abuse include:

• Physical abuse, such as hitting, slapping, punching, shoving or using excessive force to restrain a patient
• Emotional abuse, including yelling, shaming, ridiculing, manipulating, verbally threatening, intimidating or isolating an elderly person
• Financial abuse, which can include physically stealing money or credit cards from a patient, tricking them into signing away their power of attorney, or pressuring them into signing over valuable financial information or assets
• Neglect, which includes failing to provide appropriate physical, medical or emotional care
• Sexual abuse, which occurs when an employee, visitor or another resident engages in a sexual act with an elder without their consent
• Medication errors, such as providing the wrong dosage, the wrong medication or failing to take into account a patient’s allergies or how a medication will react to other prescriptions a patient is taking

All of these situations can leave lasting physical and emotional scars on a resident. If you suspect that your loved one has suffered from any form of abuse or neglect, do not hesitate to contact our Palm Beach Gardens nursing home abuse attorneys to discuss your legal options.

How Our Palm Beach Gardens Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys Can Help

Abuses like those described above almost always occur as a result of negligence on behalf of the nursing home or assisted living facility. These homes have an obligation to provide a safe environment for residents. When they fail to do this, they should be held liable.

Some common situations in which a nursing home can be held liable for injuries to a resident include:

• Poor hiring practices, in which a facility hires staff who do not pass a background check or do not have the appropriate education, training or certifications for their position
• Understaffing leads to nurses who do not have enough time to provide each patient with adequate care and attention; medical mistakes and other serious injuries and death happen in these situations
• Inadequate training on behalf of the facility can lead to serious medical errors and injuries

A facility may also be held liable for any form of abuse by a third party, such as a visitor or another resident.

If you are aware of any of these situations that have led to injuries or the death of your loved one, you may have grounds to file an elder abuse lawsuit.
