In this landmark decision, the Florida Supreme Court affirmed a Florida nursing home resident's right to exclusively follow the presuit requirements under the Florida Nursing Home Resident Rights statute, as opposed to having to also comply with the Florida medical negligence standards. Moreover, the Court clarified that the Florida Nursing Home Residents Right statute "clearly demonstrates" the Florida Legislature intended a Florida nursing home to be liable for the “failure to provide a resident with appropriate observation, assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, intervention, and evaluation of care" by Florida nursing home staff.
