Should I call an assisted living abuse and neglect attorney?

Cases involving abuse and neglect at nursing homes and assisted living facilities can be extremely complex for many different reasons. Look for signs of assisted living abuse and neglect. You should strongly consider calling an assisted living abuse and neglect attorney if:

Your loved one was injured in an accident at an assisted living facility.
You suspect your loved one is being intentionally harmed, abused, or neglected at an assisted living facility.
Your loved one has developed a serious medical condition at an assisted living facility, such as bedsores or sepsis.
Your loved one is missing money or has other problems with their finances.
Your loved one died at an assisted living facility and you want to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

If you suspect your loved one is the victim of assisted living abuse or neglect, you need to act fast. Often, accidents, injuries and incidents involving abuse or neglect at assisted living facilities don’t get reported accurately – or in many cases, reported at all.

The assisted living facility might deny doing anything wrong, or they may try to sweep evidence of abuse or neglect under the rug. That’s why you need a proven and dedicated assisted living abuse and neglect lawyer on your side who can uncover the truth, hold them accountable, and demand justice.

What to do if you suspect assisted living abuse or neglect

If you believe your loved one is the victim of assisted living abuse or neglect, you should:

Seek immediate medical attention for your loved one – Nothing is more important than your loved one’s health and well-being, which is why you should make sure they get examined by a doctor as soon as possible. Injuries from falls, including head injuries, hip injuries and broken bones, as well as serious medical conditions, such as bedsores or sepsis, need to be treated right away and properly documented.
Make a report with administration – Talk to the assisted living facility’s supervisor and voice your concerns. Take notes and document what they say, as this will prove that you made the facility aware of your concerns. Remember to write down the name of the person you speak to, along with the date and time of your meeting.
Make a report with the state – You can report assisted living abuse or neglect to the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration online or by calling their hotline at 888-419-3456.
Call an assisted living abuse and neglect lawyer – An attorney can review the details of your case, review any records such as incident reports or a death certificate if your loved one died, answer your questions, discuss your legal options, and help you figure out the best way to move forward. You may be able to sue the negligent assisted living facility and hold them accountable by filing a civil lawsuit.
