Illinois regulators are visiting a Chicago nursing home following the federal government's decision to kick the facility out of the Medicaid program.

Illinois Department of Public Health spokeswoman Melaney Arnold says the agency is at Somerset Place answering questions Monday. The state has plans to help residents move to other institutions or to community housing.

Somerset houses more than 300 mentally ill residents. The for-profit facility received nearly $15 million in Illinois taxpayer money last year.

Federal inspectors cited the institution for fights, verbal abuse and lack of supervision.

Illinois is taking action to revoke Somerset's license.

Julie Sznewajs (sneh-VYS') is a spokeswoman for Somerset. She says the owners aren't ready to comment on their plans.
