Someone dying in a nursing home does not usually raise too many eyebrows. After all, the people there are old and in need of constant care or they would not be there to start with. The problems occur when people die before their time or are injured by the negligence, lack of care or lack of staffing at the nursing home. Nursing homes are big business in Florida. Many national companies maintain large nursing homes in this state. The nursing home may look clean and appear well staffed, but that appearance changes when the residents end up with bedsores, break bones when staff members accidentally drop them or the resident dies from lack of care or lack of required staffing.

Bed sores are among the most serious and easily proved injuries. They should not occur with proper care, and once they do occur, they should be monitored to prevent the sores from getting worse. The medical community knows what to do, the problem is that in an effort to make a profit for their corporate bosses, the nursing home administrators cut back on the staff necessary to turn and monitor patients - with disastrous results.

If one of your loved ones is injured, please give us a call. We want to help.
