Illinois Nursing Home Fails to Comply With Federal Regulations, Cited by IDPH
According a recent complaint investigation by the Illinois Department of Public Health, Manor Court of Clinton, a nursing home facility located in Clinton, Illinois, failed to meet several federal standards and faces a daily $400 fine until the deficiencies are corrected.
According to the investigation report, Manor Court failed to:
- Maintain hot water;
- Relieve pressure sores;
- Prevent a fall;
- Administer and monitor some medications for residents; and
- Have sufficient staff on hand.
According to the East Central Illinois Area Agency on Aging regional ombudsman, the agency had filed multiple complaints with the administrator of the facility, but "while we were responding to complaints, the attitude and lack of cooperation we received from the administrator was concerning". That administrator has since been replaced.
