As many of you know the Kensington Group which operates both Maple Crest and Northwoods Nursing Homes in Belvidere is selling their local holdings to NuCare Service Corporation. The grounds and building of Maple Crest are owned by Boone County and the county board is being asked to transfer the lease to NuCare.
In 2009 the Chicago Tribune provide a study of nursing homes based upon Illinois Public Health and police records. In a previous posting ( http://boonecountywatchdog.blogspot.com/2011/12/maple-crests-new-owner-manages.html) the Tribune analysis of NuCare nursing homes was provided. As a way of comparison here are the analysis for Maple Crest and Northwoods.
