The West Palm Beach nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers at Gordon and Doner are helping families whose loved ones were neglected or abused in a Florida nursing home.
Often times, nursing homes are understaffed and over-occupied with residents, causing neglect to elderly people. Unfortunately, the consequences may lead to patients left famished, dehydrated or with the improper dosages or the wrong medication entirely. Other forms of nursing home abuse may include rape, sexual abuse, assault, battery or physical restraint.
The Palm Beach nursing home abuse attorneys at Gordon and Doner have years of experience helping those whose loved ones passed away or were severely injured from nursing home neglect. If you believe your loved one is a victim of nursing home abuse or neglect you may have a nursing home abuse case.
Nursing home residents have rights under the “Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987,” such as having sufficient nursing staff; ensuring residents receive proper treatment for their medical needs and the right to accommodation of physical, psychological and social needs. Nursing homes that violate the rights of a resident are subjected to consequences. Therefore, it’s important to take legal action against nursing homes that violate their residents’ rights.
