Nursing Home Abuse Attorney in Saint Petersburg, FL

Nursing Home Abuse Overview

Nursing home abuse and neglect is a failure to provide fundamental services to residents such as adequate supervision, proper medical care, food and clothing, and shelter. It is all too common at nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Florida and throughout the country. The Law Offices of Charles R. Scully in St. Petersburg represents nursing home abuse and negligence victims and their families.

Nursing home residents are a vulnerable population and may be subjected to physical, mental or emotional abuse by staff or other residents. The majority of injuries and fatalities are caused by negligence, however. Problems related to lack of supervision, inadequate training and understaffing are frequently the underlying causes of nursing home injuries.

Staff and facility negligence can lead to injuries and issues such as:

• Bedsores

• Transportation injuries
• Restraint injuries
• Wandering off and elopement
