Florida is finally cracking down on elderly abuse and neglect. It began with a Broward County assisted living facility in Lauderhill, which had been recently reported in a Miami Herald article as having ignored a dying resident. After the Miami Herald investigative report in May, the Agency for Health Care Administration has closed two facilities and cut Medicaid funds to over a dozen other facilities. In fact, there have been more sanctions against assisted living facilities since the May Miami Herald report than any other time period in the last five years.
