Top Administrators Fired or Forced to Resign at Illinois Nursing Home
We discussed the LaSalle County nursing home in previous blogs.
Three top level administrators at LaSalle County nursing home were either fired or forced to resign after all three failed to take appropriate action after a male patient made sexual advances to at least ten elderly female residents, some of whom suffered from dementia. The facility also faces a possible $20,000 fine.
A county board committee was set to convene to discuss the situation when it was announced that the three administrators were no longer in the county's employ. Administrator Adrienne Erickson, Head of Nursing Lauretta Hammerich, and Lanette Olszanowski, Head of Social Services, all were fired or forced to resign. One woman refused to accept the request to resign and was immediately terminated. No reason was provided for the staffing change except "it was in the best interests of the home".
Dennis Reimann, a Minneapolis nursing home administrator, has been named interim administrator and two other appointments will be announced this week.
