Sloan<\/em> was brought under the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act<\/a> and the Illinois Wrongful Death Act<\/a>, with issues of nursing home negligence<\/a> lying at the heart of the case.<\/p>\n

The allegations of Illinois nursing home malpractice<\/a> in Sloan<\/em> centered not on below standard medical care of the nursing home resident, but rather on issues of improper supervision of the nursing home resident. Sloan’s ultimate death was the result of severe burns sustained after Sloan attempted to light a cigarette, but instead set himself on fire.
