Miami Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Standing Up for the Vulnerable in South Florida’s Elder Care Facilities

When your family entrusts a nursing home with the care of an elderly loved one, you expect dignity, safety, and compassion—not mistreatment. Unfortunately, Miami families too often discover too late that their loved ones have suffered abuse or neglect in facilities meant to protect them.

At KBD Attorneys, we help families across Miami-Dade County take action when nursing homes fail to provide adequate care. If you suspect your loved one is being abused or neglected, don’t wait. Let us help you hold those responsible fully accountable.

Nursing Home Abuse in Miami: A Growing Concern

Miami is known for its diverse, thriving senior community. But with a high number of long-term care facilities, abuse and neglect are more common than most people realize. Some Miami-Dade nursing homes have faced citations for unsafe conditions, understaffing, medication errors, and even outright physical abuse.

Common types of abuse and neglect include:

• Physical abuse: Bruises, broken bones, or restraint marks
  
• Neglect: Bedsores, infections, dehydration, or malnutrition
  
• Sexual abuse: Inappropriate touching or assault
  
• Emotional abuse: Verbal threats, humiliation, or isolation
  
• Financial exploitation: Missing funds, forged checks, or unauthorized will changes
  

Signs of Nursing Home Abuse in Miami

Many families have a gut feeling before they have hard proof. Look out for:

• Sudden mood swings or withdrawal
  
• Unexplained injuries or repeated falls
  
• Dirty clothes or unsanitary conditions
  
• Bedsores or untreated wounds
  
• Signs of fear around staff
  
• Missing valuables or money
  

If you see any of these signs, contact a trusted Miami nursing home abuse attorney right away.

Legal Rights of Florida Nursing Home Residents

Under Florida law, every resident has the right to:

• Be treated with dignity and respect
  
• Live in a safe, sanitary environment
  
• Be free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation
  
• Access their personal property and medical information
  
• File complaints without retaliation
  

When a facility violates these rights, Florida statutes allow for both civil damages and criminal penalties. We fight for full justice, including:

• Medical expenses
  
• Pain and suffering
  
• Emotional trauma
  
• Wrongful death damages (when applicable)
  
• Punitive damages for extreme misconduct
