What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · 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)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Feb 3, 2026 · F-0921 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep its building and grounds safe, functional, clean, and comfortable for residents, staff, and visitors.
Why it matters: An unsafe or unclean environment raises the risk of falls, infections, and daily discomfort for residents.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Mar 20, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · May 23, 2025 · F-0561
The facility did not honor residents' right to make their own choices about their daily lives, such as when to wake up, what to eat, or how to spend their time.
Why it matters: Losing everyday choices makes residents feel powerless in their own home.
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 24, 2025 (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) | 3.68 | 2.99 | 3.95 | top 20% in Illinois; bottom 46% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.50 | 0.63 | 0.69 | top 50% in Illinois; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.05 | 2.67 | 3.50 | top 23% in Illinois; bottom 33% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.32 | 0.56 | 0.48 | bottom 25% in Illinois; bottom 37% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 55.0 | 44.5 | 45.8 | bottom 23% in Illinois; bottom 25% 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 3.84, RN 0.53, weekend 3.18. Staffing rating: 2/5.
Self-reported quality measures
