: Illinois Nursing Home Abuse BlogNursing Home Fined for having an Unauthorized Worker
By Levin & Perconti
Two nursing homes were hit with big fines for having an unauthorized employee. Federal prosecutors say that the nursing home both hired a nurse who had been previously banned from working in facilities that receive federal health care funds, like Medicare. Such bans often result from fraud convictions, although specific details could not be given. The two homes paid $215,000 in fines after the nursing home negligence. Nursing homes must have stringent hiring processes in order to avoid nursing home abuse at the hands of an unqualified employee. If you believe that your nursing home has hired unauthorized workers, please contact the Illinois Department of Health and consult an Illinois lawyer.
