What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5
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 · Nov 20, 2025 · F-0791
The facility did not provide or arrange dental services for its residents. Nursing homes are responsible for making sure residents can get dental care.
Why it matters: Dental problems left untreated cause pain, infection, and trouble eating, which can lead to weight loss.
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: Dec 3, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Aug 2, 2024 · F-0692
The facility did not provide enough food and fluids to keep residents healthy, such as preventing unplanned weight loss or dehydration.
Why it matters: Malnutrition and dehydration can quickly weaken a resident and lead to serious complications.
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: Aug 26, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |

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) | 2.99 | 2.99 | 3.95 | top 33% in Illinois; bottom 13% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.23 | 0.63 | 0.69 | bottom 8% in Illinois; bottom 4% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.74 | 2.67 | 3.50 | top 29% in Illinois; bottom 18% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.10 | 0.56 | 0.48 | bottom 1% in Illinois; bottom 1% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 59.5 | 44.5 | 45.8 | bottom 16% in Illinois; bottom 17% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 66.7 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 14% in Illinois; bottom 15% 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 3.06, RN 0.23, weekend 2.81. 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.
