Illinois Nursing Home Plagued With Problems, CNA Accused of Abuse

The LaSalle County Nursing Home continues to be plagued with problems, the most recent of which is a CNA has been reportedly accused of abuse. We've discussed this nursing home in previous blogs. In the past two years, the facility has been forced to deal with a multitude of problems, including the molestation of multiple defenseless residents by another resident.

Now, an investigation of a CNA is underway for abuse/molestation. According to Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) spokeswoman Melaney Arnold, "IDPH did receive an incident report from the facility regarding a CNA (certified nurse assistant) and abuse. IDPH is reviewing the evidence to determine what action, if any, will be taken."

Many Illinois nursing homes have been plagued by the physical abuse and sexual abuse of nursing home residents.
