A victim’s estate has filed a nursing home negligence suit against an Illinois nursing home. The suit complains that the nursing home employees violated the woman’s rights until her death.

The suit claims that the woman suffered a broken thigh bone and a fractured  left femur while a resident at the home. The suit states that the fracture to her femur caused her repeated pain and mental anguish.

The suit is claiming that the nursing home failed to provide adequate care and supervision. The suit also claims that the nursing home employees did not notify her doctor that her condition changed and that she was not provided with treatment from trained personnel.

Nursing home abuse can have devastating outcomes on elderly people involved, our thoughts are with the friends and family of the victim.

On Chicago’s South Side, seven nursing homes have been deemed unsafe.

The seven nursing homes were listed as most unsafe nursing homes out of the 16,000 nationwide. The U.S. Accountability Office compiled a list after 2008 inspections. The inspection uncovered many incidents where safety violations caused injuries or potential injuries to residents. Families considered moving their family members after hearing the news.
