State Proposes Legislation that would Require Background Checks for Nursing Health Aides

By Levin & Perconti

ADVERTISEMENTS

The legislation would also prohibit agencies from hiring anyone convicted of a felony within the past 10 years.

The new proposal would cover any licensed home health care agencies, homemakers companion service agencies and homemaker-home health aide agencies. Legislatures in Illinois should also consider this type of useful legislation that would combat against elderly abuse. To read more about nursing home legislation, click here.
