Elder Abuse in Florida

Florida has taken a significant step in protecting seniors by approving the creation of Elder Abuse Fatality Review Teams. Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed Senate Bill 400 into law, enabling teams in Florida’s 20 judicial circuits to review cases where elder abuse or neglect led to death. These teams will identify gaps in care and recommend policy changes to prevent future tragedies.


This groundbreaking initiative mirrors existing review systems for child and domestic violence fatalities, addressing a long-standing oversight in elder care. Advocates believe these reviews will reduce abuse and hold nursing homes and caregivers accountable for neglect and mistreatment.
