Federal investigators plan to be at the Glenwood Resource Center in February and they've asked to see the medical charts for all patients who've died in the past year. Reynolds says conditions at the facility were "not acceptable" and changes are being made -- like bringing in University of Iowa doctors on three different occasions to evaluate the patients.

"The DOJ is collecting their information. They'll report back, but in the interim they've been very, I think, impressed with what we've already done to start to address the concerns that were raised, so we're going to keep doing that and we're going to keep changing policies and procedures and get things turned around and back on track."

The Department of Justice is also investigating allegations the superintendent at Glenwood Resource Center had been doing human experiments on patients. Reynolds place the superintendent on paid leave in November, then fired him on December 30th. Reynolds made her comments in an interview with Bob Fisher of KGLO in Mason City.
