Join us for a powerful discussion about nursing home negligence and abuse in Florida. Attorney Joe Osborne sheds light on the legal definition of abuse, highlighting Florida's Resident's Rights Statute, which protects the elderly from physical and mental abuse, neglect, malnutrition, and dehydration.
Learn about common signs of nursing home negligence, including:
- Pressure sores and ulcers
- Wandering and lack of safety precautions
- Falls and resulting injuries
- Unrecognized or ignored medical conditions
Joe Osborne explores the challenges families face when proving negligence, including cover-ups and altered medical records. He emphasizes the critical role of nurse-to-patient ratios in ensuring proper care and discusses how inadequate insurance coverage can hinder families' ability to pursue legal action.
The episode concludes with a heartbreaking story of a woman who tragically died from an ant attack after wandering out of a nursing home due to the absence of necessary safety measures.
This case underscores the devastating consequences of nursing home negligence and the urgent need for greater accountability.
