Eric Block - Jacksonville, Florida Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer
More and more seniors are unable to care for themselves due to illness, handicap or old age. In many cases, friends and family are not always able to care for the needs of seniors so for-profit nursing homes and assisted living centers are experiencing a major surge in the number of seniors they care for.
Unfortunately, in some elder home facilities, elders are being abused, either emotionally, physically or financially. Our Jacksonville law firm represents those injured seniors and their families for the wrongdoing they have experienced.
Nursing home neglect symptoms may occur in many different conditions and it can result in a variety of injuries, including:
- Bed Sores
- Infections
- Falls
- Financial Abuse
- Fractures
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Failure to Medicate & Monitor
The national statistics on nursing home and elder abuse state that one of three homes in America will be affected in some way by abuse of an elder in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Since the senior citizen population is growing at a rapid pace, nursing homes and senior assisted care facilities nationwide are expected to triple in the next three years. Often times, nursing homes in an attempt to save money and/or maximize their profit will use inadequately trained or unqualified help. This puts your loved one at severe risk.
