Illinois Nursing Home Faces Possible Loss of License
Columbus Manor Residential Care Home, a nursing home in Chicago, Illinois, faces a possible loss of its license. The facility is home to approximately 130 mentally ill residents.
The facility was recently cited for many violations, some of which include resident safety. Reportedly, residents at the facility were attacking each other and a female resident allegedly had to fight off a sexual assault at the hands of a male resident. Additionally, facility staff reportedly failed to advise a resident's doctor of his illness and the resident later died.
A hearing has been scheduled for December 6, 2010 in Chicago. The facility faces minimum fines of $100,000.
