What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★★5/5 · CMS overall rating: 5/5
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.
All citations in the current public record (4)
CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.
| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |
|---|---|---|
| Mar 5, 2026 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not have or follow an effective program to prevent and control infections — such as proper hand washing, cleaning, and isolation practices. This is the most commonly cited deficiency nationwide. |
| Mar 5, 2026 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility used feeding tubes without a valid medical reason or the resident's agreement, or did not provide proper care to residents who have feeding tubes. |
| Dec 6, 2024 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide pharmacy services that meet each resident's needs, or did not employ or contract with a licensed pharmacist. · from a complaint |
| Jan 19, 2024 | 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) | 4.65 | 2.99 | 3.95 | top 9% in Illinois; top 19% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.74 | 0.63 | 0.69 | top 25% in Illinois; top 32% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.13 | 2.67 | 3.50 | top 9% in Illinois; top 19% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.51 | 0.56 | 0.48 | top 43% in Illinois; top 31% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 49.5 | 44.5 | 45.8 | bottom 35% in Illinois; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 64.7 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 15% in Illinois; bottom 16% 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 5.31, RN 0.85, weekend 4.71. Staffing rating: 4/5.
