A nursing home in Florida, which has already received fines from the state for neglecting to report an alleged sexual assault, is now facing new lawsuits.
The lawsuits claim that residents at this nursing home, which was placed on the state watch list in 2012, were not properly taken care of. The families of these residents assert that the staff failed to monitor signs of infection and failed to prevent injury from falls.
One of the lawsuits was filed as a result of a resident’s death. The family is claiming that his death was a direct result of negligence.
Nursing Home negligence is a serious issue. No one should tolerate the abuse or neglect of a nursing home resident.
