What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 4/5
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.

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) | 2.09 | 2.99 | 3.95 | bottom 12% in Illinois; bottom 1% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.29 | 0.63 | 0.69 | bottom 14% in Illinois; bottom 8% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 1.80 | 2.67 | 3.50 | bottom 10% in Illinois; bottom 1% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.30 | 0.56 | 0.48 | bottom 20% in Illinois; bottom 31% in the U.S. |

| RN turnover (%) | 14.3 | 41.8 | 42.9 | top 8% in Illinois; top 7% 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 2.67, RN 0.37, weekend 2.30. Staffing rating: 2/5.
