Nursing Home Neglect Attorney In Pinellas Park, Florida 

Nursing home neglect occurs when a facility fails to provide its residents with the necessary care and attention that they require. This type of abuse can include insufficient access to medical services, lack of proper hygiene, physical or chemical restraint, or even intentional deprivation of food and water. Unfortunately, this type of abuse is often difficult to detect because victims are unable to communicate their needs due to cognitive impairments or fear.

It is estimated that in the United States, every year approximately 2.1 million elderly people are subjected to some form of elder abuse. Shockingly, for every case mistreatment or abuse in a nursing home that is reported, there are potentially five more cases which go unnoticed and unreported. Physical abuse is the most prevalent type of maltreatment inflicted on the elderly in care homes, but they may also be victims of financial exploitation, neglect, sexual assault and emotional torment. All types of elder abuse have severe impacts on their lives and can result in serious physical injury as well as psychological trauma.
