Symphony of Chicago West
According to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) report, up to 90 percent of nursing homes are understaffed. Patients living in any of Symphony’s unsupported staff environments will too often suffer from neglect and abuse. Our experienced nursing home abuse lawyers are dedicated to providing compassionate legal representation.

With Too Few Workers, Symphony of Chicago West is Not Able to Meet Patient Needs
Although Symphony of Chicago West, located at 5130 West Jackson Boulevard, has more than enough issues related to its below-average rating given by the U.S. Government Site for Medicare, it is the massive size of the facility that creates most of the tragedies related to serious shortcomings in delivering patient care. The truth is, with more than 230 beds, this for-profit nursing home faces many failures due to a lack of staffing and resources to support such a large group of sick and recovering elderly patients, and memory diseased residents.
Even a quick review of recent health and complaint inspections from 2017 thru 2018 will show the inadequate average timeframes care staff are with patients compared to state and national averages. These numbers provide a striking view of possibly just how awful the reality of a loved one’s life in an understaffed nursing home really is.

Understaffing at Symphony Facilities is Chronic Issue
Our Illinois nursing home neglect lawyers have worked on many cases where understaffing created an all too easy environment for residents to become neglected, abused and mistreated. Unfortunately, we have also learned, in a drive to lower expenses and increase profits for owners and investors, those in charge of making decisions often first cut staffing needs to dangerous levels and greed creates a place for healing into a chronically deficient, understaffed and overworked workplace.

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.
