Frequently Asked Questions to our Fort Lauderdale Assisted Living Facility Abuse Attorneys

Does Size Matter?

Fort Lauderdale assisted living facilities range from 6 bed facilities to 250 bed facilities. Most smaller assisted living facilities are operated directly by their owners while many of the larger facilities are part of large nationwide chains of ALFs.

So do the Same Rules Apply to a Small ALF and a Large Corporate Owned ALF?

Absolutely. Ch. 429 governs all Florida assisted living facility injury claims and does not discriminate based on facility size or ownership. An assisted living facility in Fort Lauderdale is required by law to ensure that it supervises its residents, as guaranteed in Florida’s ALF Resident Bill of Rights. If a Broward County ALF fails to provide the level of care the law requires and their resident is injured, the facility may be held liable through as assisted living facility negligence case.
