This is a public hearing conducted by the Subcommittee on Long-Term Care of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging. We are pleased to be here in Chicago this morning. We expect to have very informative hearings today and tomorrow. There has been an investigation being conducted in the field of nursing homes in this State, particularly in Chicago, for some time now and it has revealed many things of concern to the Senate committee and it is our purpose to make a record on which the committee may base recommendations and, if needed, perhaps legislation. Our study of problems here in Illinois is not unique since this committee has conducted hearings for the past several years in many States. We are very pleased this morning to have Senator Percy of Illinois sitting with us as a new member of this committee. We expect that Senator Stevenson will join us during the day and be here for the remainder of the hearings. Unfortunately, Senator Hartke of Indiana who was slated to be with us had to cancel at the last minute and will not be able to join us. All that we say and do will be entered in the record and will be available to all of the members of the committee and indeed the record will be open to the public. (983) |
