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:

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.

Testimonials

I want to send my heartfelt thanks to John Perconti and the Levin & Perconti staff in taking our case.
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.

Mr. Levin, Mr. Perconti, and the firm handled a medical malpractice suit for my family.

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.

Margaret, Daisy and Bryan. This magnificent cohesive team led by Margaret represented us for my mom's nursing home wrongful death case.

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.

Our deepest appreciation to the law firm of Levin & Perconti, and in particular to Margaret Battersby Black, in the handling of the lawsuit we field n behalf of our sister who sustained life-threatening injuries as a nursing home resident.

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.
