Nursing Home Residents Rights Against Abuse & Neglect.
Nothing is scarier than the prospect of placing a loved one in a
nursing home or feeling that a loved one is being mistreated in a
nursing home. Florida statutes guarantee special rights to all
nursing home residents. These rights include the right to civil and
religious liberties and the right of independent personal decisions.
The law also requires the staff of any facility to give assistance
to the residents in helping them exercise their rights in the
fullest possible way. Perhaps the most important right nursing home
residents have is the right to receive adequate and appropriate
health care and protective and support services including social
services and mental health services.
Nursing home residents and their families have many other rights
that are specifically set forth in the Florida statutes including
the right to be treated courteously, fairly and with the fullest
measure of dignity possible. The law further provides that any
nursing home resident whose rights are violated may bring a lawsuit
against the nursing home. Also, the law states that the nursing
home may have to pay the resident's attorneys fees if they win.
At Kinney, Fernandez & Borie we understand how important nursing
home care is to the loved ones of a nursing home resident. With
our experience, we can help you if a nursing home problem has
occurred.
