Inspections are conducted on regular and as needed basis’ in nursing homes located all across the state of Illinois. The reason these inspections are done is to ensure the facility and its staff are complying with all state and federal regulations. In the event a violation is witnessed, it shall be cited so that the issue can be rectified, and the facility and its staff are less likely to allow the same type of behavior/conditions to arise again. Unfortunately, despite the fines and penalties nursing homes are up against when they fail to follow one or more rules, there are still homes that neglect to meet the state and federal standards.
