Macon County Nursing Home Information
Located about 180 miles south of Chicago, Macon County is home to 21 nursing homes, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health’s nursing home website. Our firm represents clients throughout Illinois in cases of nursing home abuse and neglect, including many from Macon County and the surrounding areas.
Steve Levin and John Perconti were among the first attorneys in Illinois to represent victims of nursing home abuse and neglect, and are regarded throughout the state as leaders in this area of practice. Our reputation has earned us the respect of our peers and adversaries alike, and many of our Downstate colleagues call upon us to handle all of their clients’ nursing home cases.
A Statewide Epidemic of Poor Quality Care
Unfortunately, nursing home negligence is all too prevalent in Illinois. Many facilities are understaffed, and therefore employees are stretched too thin to provide appropriate care to all residents. If you have a friend or loved one living in a nursing home or assisted living facility, you should know how to spot the symptoms of nursing home abuse and neglect to protect the safety and well-being of your loved ones. Some of these signs and symptoms include:
- Nursing home falls
- Bed sores
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Financial abuse
- Malnutrition and dehydration
- Sepsis
- Medication errors
- Clogged tracheostomy or gastric tubes
There are statutes of limitations for filing nursing home cases in Illinois. If you suspect that your loved one is being neglected or abused in a Macon County nursing home, you should take immediate action to protect your rights.
Call us today to discuss your potential case with one of our attorneys. All consultations are free and if we accept your case you will not pay us anything unless or until we recover compensation for you. We are happy to talk with you about your options, and answer any questions you have.

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.
