The Nursing Home Law Center is committed to providing the legal resources necessary to hold negligent facilities accountable.
Introduction to Infinity Health Care Management
Larger parent companies like Infinity Healthcare Consulting often manage nursing homes nationwide. This firm began in 2003 and is now responsible for roughly 85 skilled nursing facilities across multiple states. Their client nursing facilities are in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
The Infinity consultants have a deep knowledge base on running effective nursing homes that provide quality care to all residents. Their client facilities are tasked with delivering compassionate patient care services, attentive staff members, rehabilitative care, clinical work, and daily living assistance.
However, many client facilities connected to Infinity Healthcare Consulting fall short of these professional standards, placing residents at risk of abuse or neglect.
Problematic Client Nursing Facilities
Nursing home residents and their families experience mistreatment and neglect nationwide. Practices connected to Infinity consultants are not immune to these situations. Although this company is knowledgeable and has a strong reputation in the healthcare industry, there are always exceptions to the rule.
Some of these nursing homes have abysmal ratings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which considers various categories, like health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, when determining a facility’s score.
Maintaining high standards for nursing homes in the United States is essential. Victims of abuse or neglect have the right to pursue legal action against the at-fault party, even if that includes a parent company or consulting agency. The Nursing Home Law Center team is ready to hold these institutions accountable, assist you with a compensation claim, and increase your chances of winning a settlement.

Deficiencies at Infinity Healthcare Consulting Facilities
Inspections and deficiency reports are public records for nursing homes. These reports are designed to help consumers identify troublesome facilities with poor records of providing quality care. Whether a nursing home is not running efficient operations or is failing to prevent infections from spreading, these deficiencies are putting residents at risk of abuse or neglect.
Oak Lawn Respiratory and Rehab – Oak Lawn, IL
Numerous circumstances can be dangerous for patients. One of Infinity Healthcare Consulting’s clients is Oak Lawn Respiratory and Rehab in Illinois, a facility with several recent violations. The staff failed to make the property a safe, clean, and comfortable space for all residents. Additionally, they neglected to protect all residents from physical, mental, and sexual abuse, which includes physical punishment.
Landmark of Danville Rehabilitation and Nursing – Danville, KY
One nursing home, in particular, has been the site of ongoing violations.
Landmark of Danville Rehabilitation and Nursing is guilty of numerous offenses, including a failure to protect residents from abuse, a failure to develop policies that prevent abuse, a failure to honor the resident’s right to accept or refuse treatment, and a failure to create and implement comprehensive care plans. Some of these violations have repeatedly occurred.
Forest View Rehab and Nursing Center – Itasca, IL
Much like the facility mentioned previously, Forest View Rehab and Nursing Center is guilty of allowing physical, mental, and sexual abuse to occur. However, the staff and administrators are also at fault for failing to respond appropriately to violation allegations.
Landmark of River City Rehabilitation and Nursing – Louisville, KY
This facility has failed to maintain professional standards in several ways. The nursing staff was unable to address the dialysis needs and treatment of a resident. They also failed to create and implement complete care plans that met each resident’s needs. Lastly, the facility continuously could not clear the property of accident hazards that could cause fall injuries.
Hope Creek Nursing and Rehab – East Moline, IL
Hope Creek Nursing and Rehab is another center that has faced violations regarding accident hazards on the property. The staff was negligent in protecting patients from physical punishment, sexual abuse, and mental abuse. This is a common issue among many nursing homes connected to Infinity Healthcare Consulting.
Continental Nursing and Rehab Center – Chicago, IL
Accident hazards are a significant issue in skilled nursing facilities. Vulnerable residents could get seriously injured if they trip and fall, leading to lifelong consequences. Unfortunately, this facility also struggles to keep the property clear of hazards. Additionally, they have failed to provide appropriate treatment based on the preferences and goals of each patient [2].
Landmark of Louisville Rehabilitation and Nursing – Louisville, KY
One of the most troubled facilities connected to Infinity Healthcare Consulting, inspections of this facility unveiled 59 deficiencies between 2018 and 2022. Most of these issues resulted in fines against the facility and payment suspensions from Medicare and Medicaid. Infection control and prevention were significant issues during this time and harmed multiple patients.
Nursing Home Lawyers Can Hold These Entities Accountable
Suffering from neglect or abuse in a nursing home can have a negative impact for years. In extreme circumstances, victims may die because of the abuse or neglect from staff members. If you want to bring these entities to justice, you can file a claim for legal damages.
The Nursing Home Law Center team is dedicated to supporting victims of nursing home abuse and pursuing maximum compensation for their suffering.
Why it is Important to Act Fast
The moment you suspect abuse or neglect may be affecting your loved one, you should request legal guidance from an experienced lawyer. Building a case takes time; the longer you wait to bring legal action against the at-fault party, the more danger your loved one will face.
The sooner we start investigating your case, the sooner we can file a claim and stop the injustice from continuing. Plus, if you wait too long to report mistreatment or file a claim, you could run into the statute of limitations in your state.
Watch For the Signs of Abuse and Neglect
Visiting family members in nursing homes is not just for their mental health, but their safety as well. Often, a visiting loved one is the first to notice evidence of abuse or neglect. Stay vigilant for these signs and contact a lawyer if you are suspicious of mistreatment in the nursing home.
Some of the most common indicators of abuse and neglect include unexplained injuries, an agitated state, depression, anxiety, not enjoying everyday activities, fearfulness around specific people, withdrawal, malnutrition, and missing possessions.
