That is against HIPPA and I will file with IDPH but when I told them I would be picking my mother up do to the hippa violation and not returning none of my phone calls, they go that is fine. You can, but you will be paying for your mother's room till its rented. Can make me pay even if there is a 1 year contract like they said. I signed but do don't remember seeing that or being told that when I put her in there.
