Herrin nursing home picketers allege patient abuse amid state probe
Former Herrin facility workers accuse Shawnee Christian Nursing Center of neglect and abuse. They cite state investigation triggered by red flags after a patient left unsupervised and a past sexual abuse case. Officials deny wrongdoing while noting a formal termination process and a prior substantiated incident. Local residents Griffin and Parker defend residents while Capes of Christian Homes denies abuse claims.
