As is becoming somewhat of a regular feature at the Nursing Homes Abuse Blog, I like to take a bit of a closer look at the facilities appearing on the Quarterly list of nursing home violators as published by the Illinois Department of Health.
More than anything, when you look at the list on the whole, it provides the most accurate account of the state of nursing homes in Illinois. Forty-eight Illinois Nursing Homes appear on the list of violators and a total of $545,000 in fines were handed out by IDPH.
When you look at the list of nursing home violators, you see many of the frequent players who seem to make appearances on this dubious list. Dare I say that the these facilities simply don’t give a damn? Until the IDPH begins to throw some muscle behind their regulatory powers, these facilities will continue to view their violations as nothing more than the cost of doing business.
Among some of the more interesting facts from the 2010 3rd Quarter:
- 3 facilities were cited two or more times (Alden Princeton Rehab & HCC, Galesburg, Kenwood HCC)
- 33 of 48 facilities on the list were issued monetary fines
- Dispensed fines range from $5,000 to $55,000 per facility, comprised of the following fines:
- $5,000 = 3 (Country Club Terrace, Renaissance at Hillside, Saint Clare Home)
- $10,000 = 15
- $15,000 = 5
- $20,000 = 5
- $25,000 = 1
- $30,000 = 1
- $40,000 = 1
- $45,000 = 1
- $55,000 = 1 (Collinsville Rehab & HCC)
If you have a family member at these facilities, you simply may take notice of these problems an say ‘enough is enough’ and begin looking for another facility. However, if you’re like most families there really may be few alternatives and I encourage you to pay special attention to the care of your loved one. If you do suspect poor care or abuse, I strongly suggest you report the condition to local police and /or the IDPH.
