In 2008, the cost of keeping an elderly loved one in a Florida nursing home was hovering around $200 a day for a semi-private room.

   What kind of care should someone expect for more than $6,000 a month? At Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, you will find attorneys and staff who are knowledgeable about the challenges and issues surrounding the long-term care of an elderly loved one.

   While there are many loving and dedicated staff members in quality care facilities across Southwest Florida, the abuse and neglect of elderly residents of such facilities is a tragically regular occurrence.

   If you are concerned about the injury or death of a loved one while in the care of a residential facility - or if you are worried current residents are being abused - we urge you to call Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, for a free appointment to discuss your case.

   Nationally, statistics suggest that 30 percent of such facilities are cited for some form of neglect and abuse, while the National Center for Elder Abuse estimates that just one out of every five cases are even reported.

   With more than 2 million beds in over 17,000 facilities nationwide, greater than half of such care facilities are members of large chain corporations and more than two-thirds are operated as for-profit facilities meant to make their owners money.

   If you think you might have a problem with abuse in a residential care facility in Southwest Florida, give us a call or contact us online to set up a free appointment at any of our offices in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Port Charlotte, Arcadia, Venice and Sebring.

   The attorneys and staff of Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, will review your case thoroughly. And if we can help, we will pay the cost of building and litigating your case and you'll pay us nothing unless we win.
