> When the Vermillion County nursing home was privatized, the new management dramatically cut the staff, contradicting promises they had made to county officials. [1] Three years later, the nursing home was being cited by the state for life-threatening abuses. [2] Over the years, the Champaign County nursing home has tended to thousands of residents. [3] But now, the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce wants to privatize our nursing home. [4]. We know where this would lead: more cuts in services for people who need them.
