While it may be shocking, 140 nursing homes and assisted living facilities throughout Florida have been cited for violating state standards or not correcting violations in a timely manner, according to the advocacy group Families for Better Care. The numbers show that one in five nursing homes in Florida are actually on the state’s “Watch List.” Even worse, 12 of these facilities have been on the list for more than 100 days, several of which are in the Pasco County area.
According to Families for Better Care, the low level of care being provided to patients is especially troubling because these facilities are for profit. These facilities are bringing in billions of dollars every year while some patients are being placed in unsafe conditions.
