SOUTH SUBURBS — The Illinois Department of Public Health has fined three south suburban nursing homes for alleged violations of the state’s Nursing Home Care Act.
Manorcare of Palos Heights, 7850 W. College Drive, a 174-bed skilled-care facility, was fined $25,000 for allegedly failing to provide adequate insulin treatment for a diabetic female resident who later had to be hospitalized, the agency said in a press release.
Prairie Manor Nursing & Rehab Center, 345 Dixie Highway, Chicago Heights, a 146-bed skilled-care nursing home, was fined $20,000 for allegedly failing to adequately supervise an 84-year-old female resident known to need assistance during meals. As a result, the woman spilled a cup of hot coffee on herself and sustained serious burns, the Health Department said.
Torrence Place, 2601 223rd St., Sauk Village, a 16-bed intermediate-care facility for the developmentally disabled, was fined $20,000 for allegedly failing to take steps to protect a mentally retarded 54-year-old resident who suffered burns, apparently during a bath.
