Nursing Home Abuse - The Law Office Of Scott J. Senft

The Florida legislature enacted legislation

Florida law requires persons in nursing receive the necessary care and services.

That will enable them to reach and maintain their highest practicable level of physical, mental and social well-being. In addition, civil rights law mandates equal access in all nursing homes regardless of race, color or national origin. If you have a concern about mistreatment, malpractice or abuse in a nursing home or adult congregate living facility (ACLF) that you feel amounts to criminal abuse of the elderly, you can contact Florida Department of Children and Families (1-800-96-ABUSE — 1-800-962-2873), Agency for Health Care Administration (561-840-0156) the State Long Term Care Ombudsman Council (561-837-5038) or even the local police.
