Long-Term Care and CILA Injuries in Romeoville

Families in Romeoville sometimes contact us when a parent, grandparent, or adult child with a disability is hurt in a care setting. In Illinois, nursing homes and assisted living establishments are licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, and Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILAs) for adults with developmental disabilities are overseen by the Illinois Department of Human Services. The IDHS Division of Developmental Disabilities publishes OIG abuse, neglect, and exploitation information by CILA provider, showing allegations of abuse, neglect, and exploitation reported to and accepted for investigation by the IDHS Office of the Inspector General (OIG), and the results of those investigations. Claims in these settings often turn on staffing, supervision, medication records, and incident reports.
