By Levin & Perconti
Childs v. Pinnacle Health Care, No. 2-09-0648 (3-17-10) reversed a decision that found that a nursing home lawsuit filed for wrongful death and negligence against nursing home corporation and its director of nursing; trial court dismissed with prejudice counts against director of nursing, holding that these allegations were premised on Nursing Home Care Act, to which only licensees and owners of nursing homes can be held liable.

This case will have a large impact on nursing home law in Illinois.
