How are nursing homes regulated in Florida?

Nursing homes in Florida are subject to a rigorous inspection process by the Agency for Health Care Administration.

The U.S Department of Health and Human Services also has oversight, with its Centers launching federal investigations into nursing home neglect or abuse on behalf of beneficiaries who receive care there under Medicare/ Medicaid programs.
Types of Nursing Home Abuse
Physical Abuse

Physical abuse is the most easily recognizable form of nursing home abuse and involves inflicting physical harm on a resident. This can include hitting, slapping, pushing, or otherwise assaulting the resident.

It’s not always easy to spot physical nursing home abuse, as the injuries can be hidden or inconsistent with the explanation provided.

However, some common signs that abuse may be taking place include unexplained bruises, cuts, or other injuries; weight loss or gain; falls or accidents; bedsores or skin problems; and changes in mood or behavior.
