What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · 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)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Dec 24, 2025 · 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 (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Dec 1, 2025 (Past Non-Compliance)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Sep 20, 2024 · F-0550
The facility did not treat residents with dignity and respect, or did not honor their rights to make their own decisions and communicate freely. This is one of the most fundamental resident rights.
Why it matters: Being treated without dignity harms a resident's self-worth, mental health, and overall quality of life.
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: Oct 14, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Jan 17, 2024 · F-0622 · triggered by a complaint
The facility transferred or discharged a resident without a valid reason, or failed to provide the required documentation and information when moving a resident out.
Why it matters: Improper discharge or transfer can suddenly uproot a resident from their home and care without warning or recourse.
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: Feb 8, 2024 (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) | 2.76 | 2.99 | 3.95 | top 44% in Illinois; bottom 7% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.36 | 0.63 | 0.69 | bottom 27% in Illinois; bottom 17% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.38 | 2.67 | 3.50 | bottom 50% in Illinois; bottom 6% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.27 | 0.56 | 0.48 | bottom 17% in Illinois; bottom 26% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 39.4 | 44.5 | 45.8 | top 36% in Illinois; top 35% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 0.0 | 41.8 | 42.9 | — |
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 2.92, RN 0.39, weekend 2.53. 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.
Quality measures rating: 1/5 · long-stay residents: 1/5 · short-stay residents: 1/5
