Mental patients torment elderly in nursing home Chicago Tribune

Apparently downstate nursing homes in Illinois have begun to allow younger and violent physic patients into elderly nursing homes. Because of a change in the laws more and more nursing have allowed more physic patients to live among the elderly. The results have been disastrous.

In East Peoria, the police finally raided one nursing home after receiving an overwhelming number of calls for help, almost 50 in the month of January. During the raid the police arrested two patients who had outstanding warrants for their arrests and were considered 'armed and dangerous'.
