Are assisted living centers in Illinois required to keep records of the care provided?

State law requires Illinois assisted living centers to keep records of patient care and staffing. Maintaining these files allows the state to monitor facilities, ensuring care being rendered to nursing home residents is appropriate and safe. When misconduct is reported, records allow the state and lawyers like the nursing home abuse attorneys at Phillips Law Offices to determine if assisted living centers properly cared for a patient.

Should I accept a settlement offer in my Illinois nursing home abuse case?

Many Illinois nursing home abuse cases are settled outside of the courtroom. However, whether you should settle depends on the unique characteristics of your claim. Ultimately, your settlement should take into account the facts and circumstances of the case, the amount of the offer, and the personal decision of whether you want to settle or try the case.
