Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Boca Raton

Serving Florida from our Boca Raton Office

Nursing home abuse is one of the most gruesome and unnecessary crimes in the United States. There are hundreds of families out there that turn to nursing homes to care for aging or disabled loved ones. Even if you have researched the nursing home thoroughly, there could be unreported abuse.

You trust a facility to care for your loved one and take care of them. They are expected to hold a specific level of care, provide your loved one with companionship and make sure they are in a safe environment.

When nursing home abuse occurs, you may feel shocked and betrayed. The attorneys at Glotzer & Kobren will hold not only the abusers, but also the nursing home facility, accountable for their actions and the physical and emotional damage they have caused.

Detecting and Reporting Nursing Home Abuse

In Florida, those who commit nursing home abuse – whether physical, emotional or even financial – are punished more severely. However, cases of nursing home abuse often go unreported because loved ones do not realize that abuse is happening and the individual being abused is too afraid to come forward.

Abuse is not just physical. In a nursing home setting, it can also include neglect, which is more common than physical abuse. It is estimated that over one-third of nursing homes in the United States have committed some form of neglect or abuse.

The symptoms of nursing home abuse are easily confused with a person’s regular health decline as they age. But, a person’s health often declines more rapidly than it should and they may exhibit symptoms that include:

• Malnutrition
• Bed Sores
• Unexplained Scratches, Bruises, Cuts or Scars
• Dehydration
• Broken Bones
• Head Injuries
• Confusion
• Irritation, Depression or Anxiety
