My post was about how do I go about getting a refund for unused days from the nursing facility my wife was in. She passed on Mother's Day. I added all the details in my first post. I did get ahold of an ombudsman in the local area who I thought would give me some advice. I keep calling this individual but only get anwsers from an anwering machine telling me they're on another mission and to call back. I have called back but keep getting messages to try again later or they're out of the office. It's pretty frustrating. I don't believe they want to help. I probably need to contact a lawyer. I do have several phone numbers from several state services like the Illinois Dept. of Health... I'm really frustrated. Help!

I'm so sorry. If the ombudsman can't help you, see if the state government has a Consumer Advocate. That is a very common practice in care homes however, so I doubt you will be able to recover any. Look up the IL attorney general for consumer complaints. http://www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/consumers/filecomplaint.html

Check the contract from when she moved in. There may be a clause on what happens to funds when she passes. It is not unusual to have these funds pay for cleaning/painting her room.

According to his profile, there’s a no refund policy. He’s wanting them to make an exception to the rule.
