Nationwide Help For Families And Victims of Nursing Home & Assisted Living Abuse

The Most Recent Event in Nursing Home Litigation

The recent landmark case of Smith v. Greenfield Nursing Home brought significant attention to litigation.

In this case, the court awarded $5 million to the victim's family for severe neglect, including dehydration and malnutrition, which led to the resident's death.

This case underscores the need for stringent government mandates on nursing home care standards.

New federal regulations now require increased staffing levels and comprehensive caregiver training.

These changes aim to prevent neglect and ensure higher-quality care.

This ruling and subsequent mandates highlight the ongoing efforts to hold nursing homes accountable and protect residents' rights.

Recent Statistics of Nursing Home and Assisted Living Abuse

Recent government statistics reveal alarming trends in nursing home and assisted living abuse. 

According to the National Center on Elder Abuse:

  • Approximately 1 in 10 Americans aged 60+ have experienced some form of elder abuse
  • Nearly 15% of these cases occur in institutional settings like nursing homes and assisted living facilities
  • Reports indicate that 24% of residents have experienced at least one instance of physical abuse
  • Those same reports reveal that 12% of residents have faced neglect.For more detailed information, visit the National Center on Elder Abuse.

Nursing Home Healthcare Facilities

Notable nursing home providers include:

  • Genesis
  • Life Care Services
  • Brookdale Senior Living
  • Ensign Group
  • Life Care
  • Pacifica
  • Discovery Senior Living
  • Pruitt
  • Ethica

Facilities undergo surveys and inspections that look for instances of neglect, physical abuse, and inadequate care. The facilities are under increased pressure to comply with state and federal regulations to ensure resident safety and well-being. However, families are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any signs of abuse. Continuous monitoring and stricter enforcement are essential to protect vulnerable seniors in these institutions.

Individual Healthcare Facilities

Both nursing homes and individual assisted living facilities, including the following:

  • Orlando Health Center in Ocoee
  • Claridge House in North Miami
  • Chateau at Moorings Park in Naples
  • Gainesville HR
  • Keystone Place at Terra Bella
  • Superior Residences of Brandon ALF
  • Ponce H&R, Fountains of Melbourne ALF
  • Bayshore Memory Care
  • Ventura H&R in Boynton Beach
  • Winter Haven Post Acute and Rehab

 Undergo inspections that look for neglect and abuse, but, families must stay vigilant, report any signs of abuse, and ensure these facilities adhere to strict care standards to protect their loved ones.
