(The facility does not currently meet the minimum staffing ratios required by law. Posted at the direction of the Illinois Department of Public Health.)
The Danish Home is required to post the State’s notice because we did not report our staffing ratio ON TIME to the state. However, we maintain a greater than required staffing ratio at all times.
