What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5
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 · Sep 23, 2024 · F-0622
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.

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) | 3.18 | 2.99 | 3.95 | top 26% in Illinois; bottom 21% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.33 | 0.63 | 0.69 | bottom 20% in Illinois; bottom 13% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.76 | 2.67 | 3.50 | top 29% in Illinois; bottom 19% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.29 | 0.56 | 0.48 | bottom 20% in Illinois; bottom 31% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 72.9 | 44.5 | 45.8 | bottom 3% in Illinois; bottom 4% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 70.0 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 11% in Illinois; bottom 12% 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 3.50, RN 0.36, weekend 3.04. 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.
