Nursing Home

The decision to place a family member in a licensed nursing home is often a difficult one. Unfortunately, the residents of nursing homes are sometimes the victims of neglect resulting in serious injury and death. This can occur because of inadequate supervision, understaffing or simply care. Fortunately, Illinois nursing homes must comply with the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act which allows for a legal remedy to the victims of neglect.
