Naples Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys
Despite numerous state and federal statutes regulating nearly every aspect of the care that nursing homes, long-term care and assisted living facilities are legally required to provide — many facilities continue to place profits ahead of the health, welfare and safety of the people they are supposed to be caring for.

Staffing Issues
The easiest way for any nursing home or assisted living facility to increase profits is to cut their main expense — the money they spend on staff. In real terms, this translates into insufficient staff-to-resident ratios, inadequate training and the hiring of unqualified persons and even highly dangerous predators.
Our lawyers have seen this combination produce tragic results too many times. In one recent case, staff members at a particular facility didn't want their care provider duties to interfere with a Christmas party. To ensure that, staff members deliberately overmedicated a number of the facility's residents. Our client, disoriented by the effects of too much medication, pulled out his own tracheal tube and died after crawling to the door of his room. We couldn't do anything to change what happened, but we did obtain justice for our client's family.
