Chicago Nursing Home Lawsuit
May 13, 2009, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.
A Chicago nursing home tried to cover up the sexual assault of a 69-year-old resident by another mentally ill resident, a lawsuit filed by family members claims. According to the lawsuit, the Elgin, Illinois nursing home failed to properly monitor young and potentially dangerous residents and tried to pass off the alleged assault as consensual sex. A nursing home lawyer for the family called the incident the most egregious case of nursing home negligence he had seen.
