Iroquois County Nursing Home Information
According to Medicare’s Nursing Home Compare website, there are six Medicare/Medicaid certified facilities in Iroquois County. Each year, thousands of residents in Illinois fall victim to nursing home abuse or neglect. Often, these negligent acts go unpunished because vulnerable residents are unable to speak up or defend themselves. That is why it is crucial for family and friends to take action early if they suspect their loved one is a victim of abuse or neglect.
What are the Signs of Nursing Home Negligence?
Signs and symptoms of negligence may include pressure sores, dehydration, malnutrition, wandering and elopement, overmedication or falls. If you suspect abuse or neglect, you should file a complaint with the Illinois Department of Public Health, the state agency that enforces nursing home laws. Then, you should contact a nursing home lawyer with experience handling lawsuits against long-term care facilities.
How do You Choose the Best Nursing Home Lawyer for Your Case?
Although we are located in Chicago, we are proud to represent individuals from Iroquois county. Sometimes when individuals chose an attorney they do it only on geographic convenience. While sometimes this can be the right choice, it is often the case that a firm that is in close proximity to you does not have the experience handling cases similar to yours.

Testimonials
Not only were they so professional but also so caring and thoughtful. It was very difficult going over the facts in our mother's case but they were so compassionate and understanding and allowed us to be with them every step of the way. We were able to sit in on the depositions and we were really able to see how hard they worked on our behalf.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Perconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude.
They were most patient and responded timely to many questions throughout the entire process. All demonstrated professionalism and extensive knowledge of case and state laws. Their in-depth investigative work uncovered details which were unknown to us and yet sadly confirmed our suspicions. We would recommend the Levin and Perconti Law firm and especially this team.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Peconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude. My family and I will always be grateful for the compassion that they showed us. I want to thank you for what you did for my family, and for always being there for us.
Margaret’s representation, guidance, and professionalism gave us the sense that we could put our trust in Levin & Perconti and the final outcome proved that to be true.
