Nursing Home Liability

Nursing Home Liability law is becoming increasingly important as Americans continue to live longer. Nearly 34 million Americans are now over age 65, and even Baby Boomers are beginning to reach their sixties. This rising of America’s median age will continue for years to come, and statistics show that about 40% of those over 65 will be admitted to a nursing home or other long-term care facility.

According to the National Center for Adult Abuse, between one and two million elderly Americans have been injured, exploited or mistreated by someone trusted to care for and protect them. At Goldberg Weisman Cairo, we think this is shameful.

Illinois has approximately 1,200 nursing home and extended care facilities in which nearly 100,000 people live. The Illinois Nursing Home Care Act regulates and covers these facilities; protecting weakened and injured residents by setting standards for health, safety and sanitary conditions.

Goldberg Weisman Cairo has experienced attorneys who understand the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act, and are determined to champion elderly abuse victims living in nursing facilities.
