I don't have the words to say to cover the amount of gratitude for the team, and especially Attorney Dylan Hanson, and his team. When your parent is in a position they have no control over, and you, the child, have to step in, Mr. Hanson and the ENTIRE team at Senior Justice stepped up, and I do mean the ENTIRE team because I learned very quickly that they actually work together so noone is missed! They not only helped resolve the problem, they were there for any questions, concerns, support, and guidance, in full honest, upfront detail! We need more teams like this! For my parent, and myself though, we are truly grateful for everything they did! Again, thank you ALL!

My brother and I lost our Mom due to the negligence and neglect of a nursing home. Once she passed, I really just wanted the nightmare to be over but my brother insisted that we pursue some action against the facility. We had no luck with the state or the government oversight so we turned to Senior Justice.Honestly I wasn’t expecting much and I was skeptical going in. The team at Senior Justice proved themselves to be compassionate and respectful as well as holding the facility responsible for their actions. We received a much larger compensation than I had imagined and my brother and I are truly thankful for the folks at Senior Justice.

Our attorney David was kind, understanding, compassionate and helpful. He fought for my mom and made us feel important. He showed us that this was more than just a job for him rather a passion he has to help those in need. He always kept us updated with the progress, asked how my mom was doing and sincerely cared about getting justice for my mom. I’m so thankful to him and his team.

Senior Justice Law Firm is the best, everyone at the office showed compassion and concern. The Firm was able to help my family with a situation that my 96 year old Grandmother, experienced while she was a patient at a local Nursing and Rehab Center. She was there for several weeks to recover and have physical therapy from having surgery due to a fall that caused her to break her right hip. When she returned home I was not informed she had two bed sores one on her buttock and on her heal of the injured hip, hair matted, very stiff in her limbs and weak. My family felt she did not get the proper care as promised and she was neglected due to her having dementia and not able to communicate. The communication was awful from all staff. During the entire stay I constantly complained and worried. I highly recommend this Law Firm to help you out in any legal matters of this nature.

Mr. Michael Brevda and his staff were so compassionate and supportive of me in my situation. My mother had experienced multiple falls while in a care center and I didn’t know where to turn for help, until I personally spoke with Michael on the phone. I was sorry to learn that he wasn’t able to assist me because he was not licensed to practice law in my state. But to my surprise, Michael, gave me a follow-up call with a name of a local attorney to contact.Michael more than exceeded my expectations and I will always be grateful for what he did to help me during a very trying time in my life.I highly recommend the Senior Justice Law Firm, if you are searching for a professional team of attorneys who will be looking out for your best interest.

Kensington Place nursing home in Chicago has a 1 star overall rating from CMS. Additionally, the skilled nursing facility received a 2 star rating on health inspections, a 1 star rating on staffing levels, and a 3 star rating on quality measures.

Staffing levels are important in nursing homes as low staff numbers are correlated to a higher rate of nursing neglect and injury.

Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion

A large Chicago nursing home located at 2242 North Kedzie, Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion has a 1 star rating and a Red Hand icon, indicating the facility has been cited for abuse. This specific Chicago nursing home was recently cited for failing to stop a resident on resident assault.

There was an initial incident between two residents on 06/19/2021. Investigators found that Woodbridge Pavilion did not submit the reportable investigation until 09/22/2021 at 10:56 AM. Additionally, the Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion did not conduct the required investigation until the time of the survey. Further, the resident’s care plan was not updated after the 6/19/2021 incident. Both residents continued to be roommates after 06/19/2021. Unsuprisingly, there was another altercation on 06/22/2021. According to Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion’s progress note for Resident 135 dated 06/22/2021, a witness observed the resident’s roommate grab the other resident by the feet and pull out the victim out of bed, resulting in a head injury and subsequent hospital visit.
