Who is responsible for nursing home neglect under Florida law?

Liability for nursing home neglect can fall on multiple parties, including the facility's owners, administrators, nursing staff, or third-party contractors. Under Fla. Stat. § 400.022, nursing home residents have a statutory bill of rights ensuring adequate healthcare and clean living conditions. If a facility fails to provide this, resulting in bedsores, falls, or malnutrition, the entity operating the home can be held legally accountable. Jeffrey S. Altman and the legal team at The Altman Law Firm investigate corporate structures and staffing records to identify all negligent parties responsible for your loved one's harm.
