Assisted Living Neglect Lawyer James Keim – Call for a Free Consultation: (941) 485-7600
Assisted living neglect is a growing problem in Florida and nationally. The problem begins with how assisted living facilities are marketed and advertised to the public by the corporations and real estate investment trusts that own them. Many of these facilities have opulent looking exteriors and common areas and offer up lots of amenities. They make reassuring promises to care for, protect and keep your family members safe. Most members of the public believe that these ALFs are equipped to provide medical care to their loved one. The business model, however, is what places many ALF residents at risk for serious harm and even death.
Financially motivated corporations that place profit over the health of residents, hold onto residents who require more comprehensive care, understaff their facilities and provide limited or poor training to employees are responsible for causing serious harm to residents who live in Florida assisted living facilities.
Once an ALF brings in a new resident and starts collecting their fees, which amount to thousands of dollars per month, they do not want that prosperous relationship to end. As their residents age and decline over time, these facilities will often try to keep them in place; even when a trip to the hospital or a higher level of daily care such as skilled nursing is required. The focus is on filling every bed and keeping every bed filled.
Assisted living neglect often results in Bed Sores & Pressure Ulcers, Malnutrition & Dehydration, Infections, C-Diff & MRSA, Physical, Mental & Sexual Abuse, Medication Errors & Misuse, Falls & Fractures, Bowel Impactions, Resident on Resident Abuse, Choking & Aspiration Pneumonia and many other life-threatening problems.
