Illinois Nursing Home Accused of Abusing Two Disabled Residents
Sixty-eight year old Francisca Arce and seventy-seven year old Arcadio Arce are disabled adults who have been residents of Central Baptist Village, Inc., a nursing home located in Norridge, Illinois, since June 2004. Their guardian filed a lawsuit against the facility on July 9, 2009, alleging that Francisca Arce was assaulted multiple times at the facility and Arcadio Arce suffered from neglect.
The lawsuit alleges that Francisca suffered physical abuse and assaults in her room, the shower, and the bathroom multiple times between December 2008 and February 2009. The perpetrators allegedly were employees of the facility.
In addition to Francisca being assaulted, Arcadio allegedly suffered neglect while a resident of the facility. Between October 2008 and February 2009, Arcadio allegedly was given medicine intended for Francisca multiple times, causing him "physical illness and harm".
The lawsuit is demanding damages in excess of $200,000.
