Assisted Living Facility Negligence Injury Claims in Tallahassee, FL
Assistance is the key component that an assisted living facility is supposed to provide. When you enter the facility as a resident or facilitate your family member’s placement there, you can expect a certain level of assistance.
Specifically, you might be counting on the assisted living facility and its employees to:
- Provide meals
- Administer medications
- Assist residents with cleaning, laundry, shopping, and chores
- Assist residents with their daily living activities, such as bathing and dressing
- Provide safe transportation
- Coordinate social events and activities
All of these obligations help facilitate more independent living among residents whose abilities and medical state allow for it. However, failures to provide these and other promised services can have significant negative consequences on a resident’s well-being.
