How do I file a formal complaint against a nursing home in Illinois if I suspect nursing home abuse?

 

A:  If you suspect your loved one has suffered from nursing home abuse in Illinois, you have resources available to file a formal compliant against the nursing home. Since an Illinois nursing home abuse claim can be so complicated, it is always best to seek legal help from an experienced Chicago nursing home abuse attorney.

How to File a Formal Complaint against an Illinois Nursing Home

To file a formal complaint against a nursing home in Illinois, you can locate your local long-term care sub-state ombudsman through the Directory of Agencies and Organizations Serving Seniors. Additionally, you can contact the Senior Help Line.

You can also contact the nursing home hotline through the following numbers: 

  • 1-800-252-4343; and
  • 217-785-0321 (out-of-state).   

While filing a formal complaint is one important and necessary step if you suspect your loved one has been the victim of nursing home abuse in Illinois, it is also important to seek legal counsel from a Chicago nursing home abuse attorney.

The process of pursuing an Illinois nursing home abuse claim requires proof that a nursing home facility and/or caregiver is responsible for causing your loved one to suffer injuries.

Common types of nursing home abuse injuries can result from bedsores, malnutrition, physical abuse, restraints and medication errors. When the negligence, misconduct or abuse of a nursing home facility or caregiver causes your loved one to suffer, you may have the right to pursue damages through an Illinois nursing home abuse claim.

A Chicago nursing home abuse attorney will carefully evaluate your case and help collect the evidence that is necessary to prove your loved one has suffered nursing home abuse in Illinois.
