: Illinois Nursing Home Abuse BlogChicago Nursing Home Attorney Steven Levin Commends Nursing Home Safety
By Levin & Perconti
Chicago nursing home attorney Steven Levin wrote to the Chicago Tribune to praise them for their commitment to uncovering nursing home abuse. Attorney Levin thought that ?Nursing homes? toll: 86 sex cases, 1 arrest? was a valuable tool for the people of Chicago. He applauded the Tribune?s efforts in raising public awareness of Chicago nursing home abuse. Attorney Levin believes that there is a critical need for adequate staffing in nursing homes to protect residents from harm or abuse. When nursing-home owners focus on census over patient care, nursing home negligence ensues. Care workers must be sufficiently trained to create an environment void of physical and sexual abuse. Steven Levin urged readers to contact their respective state representatives to demand legislation that provides minimum staffing standards for Illinois nursing homes. This will help avoid Chicago nursing home abuse. To read the entire letter to the editor, please check out the link.
