Nursing Home Abuse Attorney In Miami, Florida

Nursing home neglect, a distressing form of elder abuse, is when a facility falls short in providing essential care and attention to its residents. This neglect can manifest in various ways: inadequate access to medical services, unsatisfactory hygiene standards, unnecessary physical or chemical restraint, or even deliberate deprivation of food and water. Regrettably, such abuses often go unnoticed due to the victims' inability to express their distress, either out of fear or cognitive impairment.

In the United States, an alarming 2.1 million elderly individuals fall victim to some form of elder abuse annually, and for each reported instance, as many as five go undetected. Physical abuse is the most common type of maltreatment in care homes. However, elders can also fall prey to financial exploitation, neglect, sexual assault, and emotional harm, all of which have serious and lasting impacts.
