What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5
⚠ The most recent standard health inspection was more than 2 years ago — conditions may have changed.
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 · Oct 16, 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.

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) | 2.85 | 2.99 | 3.95 | top 38% in Illinois; bottom 9% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.58 | 0.63 | 0.69 | top 40% in Illinois; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.37 | 2.67 | 3.50 | bottom 48% in Illinois; bottom 6% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.39 | 0.56 | 0.48 | bottom 37% in Illinois; bottom 50% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 53.2 | 44.5 | 45.8 | bottom 27% in Illinois; bottom 29% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 54.5 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 29% in Illinois; bottom 29% 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 3.04, RN 0.62, weekend 2.52. Staffing rating: 2/5.
