Residents of the Arlington Heights facility were shocked when they learned what happened. They met with management Friday to talk about security.

Police have not yet released a description of the suspect. The attack came the day before Governor Bruce Rauner signed legislation allowing nursing home residents to have surveillance cameras installed in their rooms.
