(MATTOON)---A Central Illinois nursing home is making changes after serious accusations of patient abuse. The state says it happened in February at the Odd Fellow Rebekah Home in Mattoon. The nursing home has been fined $30,000 because of the incident. A nurse is accused of actually holding down a resident in order to give them their medication, and threatening another resident with an injection if they didn't agree to take theirs. One man whose mother lives next to the home says he can't believe it.

"I wouldn't want it to be my mother." Says Ed Davis "I mean she could be in a nursing home and I wouldn't want her to be treated like that."

Nursing home officials say they have fully cooperated with the public health department's investigation and they've started to reeducate their staff on certain policies and procedures. They also say they don't totally agree with the department's investigation and are planning to appeal the $30,000 fine.
