Negligence and abuse in nursing and residential care facilities in Florida has unfortunately become common. Nursing homes in Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Palm Beach, Vero Beach and Okeechobee and throughout Florida are cited with violations of state and federal law on a daily basis, and your loved ones may be the victims of this widespread neglect and abuse.

The most common types of neglect and abuse are malnutrition, dehydration, pressure sores, infections, falls, burns, and assaults.
