Personal Care Negligence Cases

Nursing home residents have the right to be assisted with their daily activities such as eating, dressing, movement, or any other personal needs. If necessary, residents should receive supervision and oversight so that their physical and mental well-being is maintained.

If you or a loved one has suffered severe harms, injuries or death due to improper, negligent or non-existent personal care, you should contact Graves Law Office and allow Ken to seek justice on your behalf.

The Illinois Nursing Home Care Act defines personal care as:

Sec. 1-120. Personal care means assistance with meals, dressing, movement, bathing or other personal needs or maintenance, or general supervision and oversight of the physical and mental well-being of an individual, who is incapable of maintaining a private, independent residence or who is incapable of managing his person whether or not a guardian has been appointed for such individual.
