Health violations, safety concerns and lack of quality care are not always obvious when placing a loved one in a nursing facility in Illinois. A home that maintains adequate staffing is crucial to the health and safety of every nursing home resident. However, the staff must be properly trained. Any nursing home with a high nursing staff turnover is an indicator of problems and dissatisfaction within the facility. Unfortunately, the Pekin Illinois nursing home abuse attorneys at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC have represented numerous residents in nursing facilities statewide who have suffered injury, harm or death by the actions of their caregivers.

We encourage you to use this information to make the best informed decision before placing a loved one in a home who requires the best nursing care to reduce the potential risk of infection, harm, abuse or neglect.
