The corporation founded by Bruce Rauner’s private equity firm to buy up and profit from nursing homes nationwide ran three such homes in the Chicago area—two in south suburban Burbank and one in Barrington, state and company records show.
The Chicago-area homes—Exceptional Health Care and Brentwood Sub-Acute in Burbank and Governor’s Park in Barrington—were repeatedly cited by authorities for violations including:
- Sexual assault and failure to report sexual assault;
- Failing to provide necessary services and care;
- Failure to report and investigate abuse and mistreatment of residents
- Rehiring an employee previously terminated for verbal and physical abuse of residents;
- Failing to provide necessary services and care;
- And more, including “residents left in an undignified manner”, medication errors and improper use of restraints.
