Elevate Care Waukegan runs 265 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 2.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 15% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record, 62 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $65,554, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. The one bright spot is turnover at 24.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure. Still, staffing and inspection ratings both sit at two out of five stars.

Waukegan Health and Rehab runs about 3.07 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip another 15% under its own weekday numbers, that's when gaps tend to show up. Turnover sits at 40.8%, a bit better than the national 45.8%, so leadership isn't the main problem here. The bigger concern is the record: 27 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with one fine of $8,328. A recent inspection in May 2025 and a 4-star health inspection rating help, but a 2-star quality measure score and the thin staffing keep this one worth watching closely.

Aspyre Of Waukegan runs a lean ship on the floor: 3.15 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, with weekends dipping about 14% below its own weekday numbers. Turnover, though, sits at 26.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The trouble is what's on the record: 37 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $135,606, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. For-profit corporate ownership, 115 beds, and a one-star health inspection rating. The staffing math and the citation history are the two things to weigh hardest before deciding.
