(formerly Symphony at Midway)
Our loved ones residing in nursing facilities deserve to receive the best care available that ensures their dignity and respect while receiving effective treatments to maximize their health. Unfortunately, many nursing facilities are staffed with medical professionals that lack proper training or perform their duties with inadequate supervision. As a result, many nursing home residents become victims at the hands of their caregivers.
Our team of nursing home advocacy attorneys take quick legal actions to ensure the safety and well-being of nursing home residents all throughout Illinois. We post valuable publicly available data involving safety concerns and opened complaints concerning nursing homes, assisted living centers and rehabilitation facilities statewide.
