Update On Illinois Nursing Home Molestation- Officials Ousted

Posted by Jonathan Rosenfeld on September 15, 2009

Perhaps in response to the attention heaped on the LaSalle County Nursing Home after female patients were sexually assaulted by another male patient-- three officials at the facility have resigned on been fired.  An interim administrator has been hired to manage LaSalle Nursing Home after the former administrator, director of nursing and social service director were either forced out or resigned voluntarily.

The staff shake up comes after Illinois Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services each fined the the facility $20,000 for violating patient rights and failing to protect patients from harm.
