Description

The husband and guardian of a nursing home resident filed a claim against Manor Care, the nursing home, for deprivation of the resident's rights as set forth in sections 400.022 and 400.023, Florida Statutes (2001). The nursing home moved to compel arbitration pursuant to the arbitration agreement signed by the husband upon his wife's admission to the home. The trial court determined that the parties had entered into a valid arbitration agreement. Because the arbitration agreement contained provisions that defeat the remedial purposes of the statute, we hold that it was unenforceable and therefore reverse.
