Des Moines, Ia (AP) — Federal officials investigating practices at two Iowa care centers say they plan to visit next month and have asked the state for extensive documents. The state learned in November that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the Glenwood Resource Center for possible violations of patient civil rights and the Woodward Resource Center for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Federal officials say in a letter dated Dec. 19 they want lists of former Glenwood employees, residents, grievances involving residents and charts for everyone who has died in the past year. The centers have a mission of helping people with intellectual disabilities.
