respect worthy of all the
sacrifices they’ve made. It is a
travesty that the number of
nursing home abuse reports is
on the rise in Illinois and it is important that we fight back to
ensure that negligent nursing homes are unable to afford
cutting corners and neglecting those whom they are tasked
with caring for. The Illinois nursing home abuse attorneys of
Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers aggressively defend the rights of
those who’ve been neglected or abused by those trusted to
take care of them.
The Burgeoning Cost of Nursing Care
Skilled nursing care is far from cheap and while the average
cost of caring for the elderly in Illinois is lower than the average
across the nation, it is still exorbitant. Patients sharing rooms
are charged an average of nearly $5,400 each month while
electing for more privacy will cost an additional $800. This
amounts to over $64,000 per year and is a significant drain on
the finances of our elderly and their families, even when

accounting for contributions from Medicare and Medicare
toward these costs.
The reason we place our loved ones in nursing facilities
despite these costs is because we recognize the need for them
to be surrounded by those who are trained to provide for their
unique needs. It is well within our rights to expect that nursing
facilities provide high quality care in return for our hard earned
money and it can be infuriating to learn that a loved one
suffered an injury because the home cut corners and placed
profit above the health of the patient.
How For-Profit Companies are changing the
Landscape
It was not until very recently that for-profit businesses began to
wade into the nursing care field and most facilities up to that
point were run by non-profit organizations tied to religious
institutions. As for-profit homes have started to spring up over
the state, so have the number of reports concerning abuse and
neglect. The primary conflict is in the need to maximize profit—
most corporations do whatever it takes to reduce costs and find Assisted Living

ways to bring in additional revenue. When our loved ones’
health is at stake, however, it is inexcusable to understaff a
facility in order to increase margins at their expense.
Forms of Nursing Neglect
Nursing home negligence comes in a variety of forms and
while some cases involve irreprehensible behavior, the majority
of neglect is not intentional. Following are the most common
forms of nursing home abuse and the injuries that can result.
Failure to provide adequate nutrition and hydration.
When nursing facilities are severely short-staffed,
patients may not receive three meals per day and could
go for extended periods without fluids.
Inadequate measures to prevent or treat bedsores. This
form of neglect is also commonly associated with
understaffing due to the ease in which pressure ulcers
can be prevented. Patients who are at an elevated risk of
developing bed sores merely need to be moved every
one to two hours and staff should be wary of any signs

that sores are beginning to develop.
Improper supervision of high risk patients. Some patients
require special needs or have limitations and it is the duty
of nursing staff to come up with treatment plans for
individual patients which address their needs. If a patient
requires assistance or supervision for tasks such as
eating, moving in and out of bed, walking, or other tasks, it
is important that staff members are available to assist.
Those at elevated risk of falling may suffer injuries due to
a fall and those requiring mealtime supervision that are
ignored may have difficulty swallowing and choke on their
food.
Physical, emotional or sexual abuse. The most heinous
offenses are actions taken willfully by staff members or
visitors who are somehow allowed contact with victims.
There is simply no excuse for these types of injuries and it
is important to constantly be wary of signs that our loved
ones are being harmed in a physical, emotional or sexual
manner. Signs include sudden changes in behavior with
emotional outbursts, strange behavior around caregivers,
