Title

  • State Ensuring Safety of Residents as Long-Term Care Facility Suddenly Shuts its Doors

Description

  • The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), working in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Human Services, Office of the State Guardian, Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services and others, is relocating 32 residents from Colonial Manor, an intermediate care facility for the developmentally disabled located in Franklin County. Colonial Manor informed IDPH on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 it could not afford to stay open, only had food for approximately three and a half days, and would not be able to pay staff past Monday, March 18, 2013. The failure of the facility to notify IDPH at least 90 days before closing, as well as the inability to pay for food and staff, prompted the Department to take emergency action to ensure the health, safety and well-being of all residents.
