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. | | | Date Created: | 03-14-2013 | | | Agency ID: | 257**13 | | | ISL ID: | 000000050619 Original UID: 171623 FIRST WORD: State | |
