The decision to enter a nursing home is never easy for an individual or his or her family. All throughout the greater Chicago area, families are struggling with how to best handle the medical and care decisions of their loved ones with special needs. If and when an individual is placed in a nursing home facility, his or her family may worry about the quality of attention that their loved one is receiving.

Many nursing and group homes provide excellent care for those individuals who can no longer live on their own. A good nursing home has a well-trained staff that is equipped to handle the unique ailments that each of the home’s patients experiences. It has the capacity to cope with unexpected changes in a patient’s health in a prompt and professional manner.

Not all nursing homes are able to achieve these necessary and important aspirations. Whether through understaffing, poor training, poor management or outright lack of concern, an unacceptable number of individuals are harmed in nursing and group homes each and every year. Often the individuals who suffer from nursing home neglect or abuse are the ones who cannot speak up for themselves to advocate for their own care.
