Long ago a hunting site for Florida’s Seminole Indians, the area that eventually became Hallandale Beach sprung to life when Henry Flagler’s railroad opened the gates to South Florida. Named for an employee of Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway, Hallandale Beach grew as a farming community. Later, the Broward County city developed a reputation for attracting Canadian and other northern visitors and retirees to local beaches. The beautiful coastal community is a Tree City USA and has been honored for its environmental protection efforts.

Abuse and neglect can happen in any community. Unfortunately, they also happen to vulnerable elderly and ill residents of nursing facilities. Even though ombudsmen (volunteer advocates for nursing home residents), family members, social workers, and other supportive individuals do what they can to help, nursing home residents suffer the effects of substandard care, poor treatment by untrained caregivers, and neglect by understaffed facilities.
When the quality of care is lacking, nursing home residents are at greater risk for many adverse effects: greater likelihood of falling, physical injuries, health complications, infections, bedsores, sepsis, depression – the list goes on.
