Save DeKalb County Rehab & Nursing Center

The DeKalb County Board’s executive committee will consider a resolution this Wednesday, June 8, to sell our nursing home to a for-profit company, Illuminate HC.

When nursing homes are privatized, cutting corners to save costs is inevitable:

  • paying workers lower wages and reducing their benefits
  • decreasing the ratio of staff to residents
  • reducing the quality of care, including increased resident mortality
  • hindering access to affordable care for those who need it most

Take Action!

Call these executive board members and tell them to STOP any sale of our county nursing home! Or click here to send them an email.
