What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Apr 2, 2024 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Mar 14, 2024 (Past Non-Compliance)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Feb 23, 2024 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Mar 7, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Jan 6, 2026 · F-0558 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not make reasonable adjustments to fit each resident's individual needs and preferences — things like call buttons within reach, preferred wake-up times, or accessible room setups.
Why it matters: Ignoring individual needs — like leaving a call button out of reach — can leave residents helpless, frustrated, or in danger.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Jan 21, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, repeated · Aug 21, 2025 · F-0725 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not have enough nursing staff each day to meet every resident's needs, or did not have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Adequate staffing is one of the strongest predictors of good care.
Why it matters: Understaffing means longer waits for help, missed care, and higher risk of falls and other harm.
Severity (H): Multiple residents were actually harmed by the same failure — a pattern of real harm, not an isolated incident.
Corrected: Nov 3, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Jan 12, 2024 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Jan 13, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, facility-wide · Sep 19, 2023 · F-0880 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not have or follow an effective program to prevent and control infections — such as proper hand washing, cleaning, and isolation practices. This is the most commonly cited deficiency nationwide.
Why it matters: Weak infection control lets illnesses like flu, COVID-19, and drug-resistant infections spread quickly among vulnerable residents.
Severity (I): Residents were actually harmed and the failure existed throughout the facility. Rare and serious.
Corrected: Oct 11, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Illinois avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 2.06 | 2.99 | 3.95 | bottom 12% in Illinois; bottom 1% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.23 | 0.63 | 0.69 | bottom 9% in Illinois; bottom 4% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 1.98 | 2.67 | 3.50 | bottom 18% in Illinois; bottom 2% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.21 | 0.56 | 0.48 | bottom 8% in Illinois; bottom 14% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 54.0 | 44.5 | 45.8 | bottom 25% in Illinois; bottom 27% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 50.0 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 37% in Illinois; bottom 39% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 2.81, RN 0.32, weekend 2.69. Staffing rating: 1/5.
Self-reported quality measures
Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
