What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5

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 8, 2025 · F-0744 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not provide the right treatment and services for residents with dementia or signs of dementia. Dementia care requires specific approaches, training, and patience.

Why it matters: Poor dementia care can lead to distress, unsafe wandering, or unnecessary sedating medication.

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 9, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Jun 26, 2025 · 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: Jul 11, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Jun 6, 2025 · 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: May 13, 2025 (Past Non-Compliance)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Apr 3, 2025 · F-0684 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.

Why it matters: Care that strays from doctor's orders or ignores the resident's wishes can lead to declining health and avoidable harm.

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: Apr 17, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

Date	Severity	What the facility was cited for

Aug 31, 2023	F · Potential for harm, facility-wide	The facility did not give residents reasonable access to and privacy in using ways to communicate, such as phones, mail, and email. Residents have the right to stay in touch with the outside world privately.

Aug 31, 2023	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not have a working program to monitor how antibiotics are used. Tracking antibiotic use helps make sure these drugs are given only when needed and remain effective.

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 11% in Illinois; bottom 1% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.29	0.63	0.69	bottom 15% in Illinois; bottom 9% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	1.68	2.67	3.50	bottom 6% in Illinois; bottom 1% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.33	0.56	0.48	bottom 25% in Illinois; bottom 37% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	78.3	44.5	45.8	bottom 1% in Illinois; bottom 3% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	37.5	41.8	42.9	top 45% in Illinois; top 42% 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 2.45, RN 0.35, weekend 2.00. Staffing rating: 1/5.

Self-reported quality measures
