Expert Witness

The world of long term care is being increasingly driven by additional regulatory oversight and a more demanding public. The result is an increase in the number and scope of lawsuits against the nursing home provider. The resolution of this litigation is often dependent on the quality of the experts brought in to shed light on the requirements of the regulatory process and the inherent standards of care in the profession.

No other firm has the breadth of experience to offer in the role of Expert Witness. The principles of Healthcare Horizons, Ltd. have over sixty years of combined experience. As former executives with the Illinois Department of Public Health they have twenty-six years of experience in government as regulators and overseers of the survey process. Both of these gentlemen have written and /or participated in the development of Rules and Regulations for nursing home regulation and policies and procedures for facility operation. As consultants and owners/operators of facilities they have thirty-four years of combined experience in the day-to-day operation of nursing homes. Their knowledge of applicable rules and regulations is unmatched in this profession, but their historical perspective on the development of regulations and the regulatory process over the past thirty years is extremely valuable in the process of litigation.
