State announces nursing home violators
The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced it has posted the 2022 Quarterly Report of Nursing Home Violators on its website.
The report, which can be seen here, contains additional information about each of the violations. The facilities listed in the report were cited with type “AA,” “A” or “B” violations of the Nursing Home Care Act and processed between January and March of 2022.
- An “AA” violation is cited when there is a condition or occurrence at the facility that “proximately” caused a resident’s death.
- An “A” violation refers to a condition in which there is a substantial probability that death or serious mental or physical harm will result or has resulted.
- A “B” violation impacts the quality of care for residents but has not been corrected by the facility after the state has allowed the facility a reasonable amount of time to correct it.
