Nursing Home Lawyers
Kankakee, Illinois, is home to many nursing homes. When trying to determine where to place a loved one, where do you turn? Our lawyers get frequent calls asking the same questions: Are there any “good” nursing homes in my area? Has this nursing home ever been sued? How do I pick the right nursing home for my loved one?
As attorneys, we don’t vet every nursing home in Illinois, but with over 60 years of combined litigation experience, we are familiar with some of the resources available to individuals seeking nursing home placement.

If the above list does not help, feel free to give one of our experienced nursing home attorneys a call for further assistance and resources related to choosing the right nursing home for you or a loved one. A high rating does not necessarily mean that your loved one will receive good care at the nursing home and a poor score does not mean that your loved one is destined to be abused or neglected if placed there. It is important to do your own due diligence before choosing where to place your loved one.
The following may also be beneficial in determining the right Kankakee area nursing home for you or your loved one:
