The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has released its Third Quarter Report for 2024, detailing nursing home violations. The report covers 312 violation reports completed in the third quarter of the year, and further details can be accessed on the IDPH website.

ALIYA on 87th, also located in Chicago, received fines totaling $75,000—$50,000 for an "AA" violation and an additional $25,000 for an "A" violation.
