Melbourne Nursing Home Abuse

At Morgan & Morgan, we recognize nursing home abuse in Florida for its grave injustice, and its large but unfortunate scope in our elder-friendly state. Our elder abuse lawyers in Melbourne are proud to have helped families throughout the state get justice for aged relatives who have been abused, neglected, traumatized, or injured by nursing home negligence and staff abuse. And they’re ready to help you too. Contact our Melbourne office to fill out our free, no-risk case evaluation form today.

  • The Increasing Problem of Nursing Home Abuse

    Americans are living longer than ever, but they’re still plagued by a variety of conditions and diseases that make long-term elder care the most viable option for treatment. According to the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration, there are currently 681 nursing homes in Florida, with room for more than 83,000 residents. Unfortunately, licensing itself does not guarantee quality. The demand for affordable elder care has skyrocketed, and so has the number of nursing facilities in both Florida and the United States, inevitably bringing some of their accreditation into question. And this could spell suffering for your loved one.

  • Common Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

    Nursing home abuse can often be difficult to pin down. Relatives suffering from dementia or another illness making it difficult for them to communicate can have trouble sharing their experience with you. Furthermore, loved ones can often experience injuries under normal conditions without any wrongdoing. While these signs may not always indicate nursing home abuse or neglect, Florida residents who observe them should consider investigating further any sign of:

    • Bedsores;
    • Unexplained and recurring bruises;
    • Dehydration or malnutrition;
    • Consistently poor hygiene;
    • Extreme fear or anxiety;
    • Unexplained infections; and
    • Unexplained injuries.

    If the result of your inquiries is a defensive, unreasonable, or otherwise deceptive medical staff, seemingly unconcerned with the interest you have in your loved one’s well-being, it may be time to contact a Melbourne nursing home attorney. Our Florida elder care abuse lawyers know where to look to determine if negligence and abuse has taken place, and can help you safeguard your loved ones.

  • Our Florida Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys Can Help Protect Your Loved Ones

    People who believe their elderly loved ones have experienced nursing home abuse or neglect often don’t know what to do, and the next steps can be unclear. If you have these suspicions and have not received satisfactory answers from your loved one’s nursing home in Melbourne, it may be time to consider retaining an attorney to help you investigate. Fill out our free, no-risk case evaluation form if you’re ready to seek justice today.
