What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · 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, one-off · Sep 22, 2023 · 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 (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Sep 23, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Jan 30, 2026 · 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: Jan 31, 2026 (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) | 2.80 | 2.99 | 3.95 | top 41% in Illinois; bottom 8% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.61 | 0.63 | 0.69 | top 35% in Illinois; top 46% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.73 | 2.67 | 3.50 | top 30% in Illinois; bottom 17% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.83 | 0.56 | 0.48 | top 17% in Illinois; top 10% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 37.1 | 44.5 | 45.8 | top 30% in Illinois; top 29% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 24.0 | 41.8 | 42.9 | top 22% in Illinois; top 20% 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 3.42, RN 0.75, weekend 3.33. Staffing rating: 3/5.
