Illinois' "Operation Guardian" Strikes Again

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and the "Operation Guardian" program strike again! To date, Operation Guardian has located 124 people with arrest warrants living or working with defenseless elderly residents in Illinois nursing homes.

On September 10, 2010, a surprise Operation Guardian compliance check at Central Nursing and Rehab in Chicago, Illinois yielded nine residents wanted on outstanding arrest warrants, four residents were arrested, and one resident, listed as a missing person, was located.

Central Nursing and Rehab is a three star facility according to the new rating system instituted by Medicare.gov, which indicates an average facility. The facility is owned by Michael Blisko and Moishe Gubin, who both retain ownership interests in eight other Illinois nursing home facilities.
