Staff turnover
23%

Westminster Place runs on 5.23 nurse hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover of 23.1% is roughly half the national rate. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in October 2024 and top marks from CMS for both inspections and staffing. As a nonprofit, it isn't answering to shareholders, and the numbers reflect that stability.

Moorings of Arlington Heights runs on a nonprofit model with 92 certified beds, and its staffing tells a real story: 5.12 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly a third more hands-on care than most homes provide, and the people delivering it tend to stay, turnover sits at 12.1% while the national figure is closer to 46%. Weekend coverage does dip about 11% below its own weekday level, worth knowing if you'll be visiting Saturdays and Sundays. The health inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, so ask directly how those were resolved when you tour.

Nurse staffing at Selfhelp Home of Chicago runs 4.85 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekends dip only about 9% below weekdays, a modest drop compared with what many homes see. Annual turnover sits at 24.4%, well under the national 45.8%. The tradeoff is on the inspection side: 21 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the last inspection in August 2024. The nonprofit's quality and staffing measure ratings are both top-tier, so the care numbers look strong; the open question is how that one serious deficiency fits with everything else.

Mather Evanston runs on 5.86 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.8% sits well under the 45.8% typical elsewhere, people tend to stay. The trade-off is modest: weekends run about 8% leaner than weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Seven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a clean inspection in March 2025. As a nonprofit with 37 beds, it's small enough that you can reasonably expect to know the people caring for your relative.

The Springs at Monarch Landing is a for-profit LLC home in Naperville with 96 certified beds, and its numbers hold up under scrutiny. Nurse staffing runs 5.15 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 10% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't fall off a cliff on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 36.8%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure. On the inspection side, 11 deficiencies appear on the current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection completed in July 2024. All three CMS star ratings land at 5 out of 5.

Meridian Village Care Center runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership in Glen Carbon, and the numbers back up what that structure often buys: time with residents. Nurse staffing sits at 4.66 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and weekends dip only about 5% below weekdays, a small gap compared with what many homes show. Staff turnover is 28%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. The current record carries seven deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A 5/5 inspection rating and a November 2024 survey round out a record that looks stable rather than lucky.

Apostolic Christian Skylines runs on 4.92 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. The 42.2% turnover is a touch better than the national 45.8%, meaning most caregivers who start here tend to stay a while. State inspectors visited in October 2024 and found nine deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and none tied to abuse. Five stars on both inspections and staffing, four on quality measures, the weaker numbers sit in care outcomes, not in who's on the floor.

Vi at The Glen runs 47 certified beds in Glenview, and the numbers behind its record are hard to argue with. Nurse staffing sits at 4.54 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 12 percent from its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Annual turnover is 37.9 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for whether caregivers actually stick around. Six deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection came in June 2025. Corporate, for-profit ownership, three 5-star CMS ratings across inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

The Admiral At The Lake runs on 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 15.2 percent sits far below the 45.8 percent typical elsewhere. Weekend staffing dips about 11 percent under weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The 25 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in March 2026. For a 36-bed nonprofit, the pattern is steady care with a stable workforce, though that single harm-level finding deserves a direct question about what happened and what changed.

Covenant Living - Windsor Park runs about 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays. The staffing numbers look strong otherwise: a 5/5 CMS staffing rating and 18.3% turnover, less than half the national rate, mean aides and nurses tend to stay. Inspections are another story. The February 2025 survey left 18 deficiencies on record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $50,525. Quality measures score 5/5, so call and ask directly how those abuse and harm findings were resolved.

Mercy Circle is a small nonprofit home on Chicago's Southwest Side, church-affiliated, with only 23 certified beds. Staffing runs 4.35 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday level, so ask how coverage holds up on Saturdays. Turnover is 33.3%, well below the national 45.8%, which matters for consistent care. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, so ask directly how those were resolved. Its last inspection was February 2025, and all three CMS star ratings sit at five.

Wesley Village sits in Macomb as a church-affiliated nonprofit with 73 certified beds, and the numbers back up the mission. Nurses provide 4.87 hours per resident day, about 26% more than the national average, and weekend staffing dips only 17% below its own weekday level, a modest gap compared to many homes. Staff turnover is 27%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. The current record shows 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Quality measures earn a middle-of-the-road 3 out of 5, so clinical outcomes aren't quite as strong as the staffing and inspection results.

Lake Forest Place runs on a genuinely strong staffing base: 5.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 44% above the national average, which is the kind of margin that shows up in day-to-day care. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 33.3%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit ownership may help explain the stability. Against that, the current record carries 14 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the last full inspection was in December 2024.

Prairieview At The Garlands runs a small house, just 20 certified beds, and staffs it heavily: 6.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 58% above the national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 41.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekdays, which is mild as these things go. The tradeoff shows up in its record: five deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a 3 out of 5 on quality measures despite a 5 out of 5 inspection rating and a recent May 2026 survey. It's for-profit, LLC-owned, and the numbers say well-staffed but not spotless.

Terraces At The Clare runs about 4.96 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 28% above the national average, and that's the main reason it holds up well. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 36.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. Ten deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, but two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was recent, in May 2025, and the home is individually owned for profit.

Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. Staff turnover is 20% against a national average near 46%, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection history isn't spotless: eight deficiencies on record, one at the harm level, though none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in April 2025. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders.

Evenglow Lodge runs a tight ship on the clinical side. The last inspection was in December 2025, and the record shows 21 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, that's a clean pattern for a 48-bed nonprofit home. Nurse staffing sits at 5.08 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, which is why the staffing stars hold at 4/5 even with weekends running about 11% lighter than weekdays. The real soft spot is turnover: 60% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the care team cycles through each year. Families should ask how that affects consistency on evenings and weekends.

Snyder Village runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.91 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing holds up on weekends better than at many homes, though it still dips about 10% below weekday levels. Turnover sits at 36.9%, noticeably under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record is clean where it counts: five deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit in March 2025. Woodford County's nonprofit ownership rounds out a picture of a home that is, by the numbers, steady rather than spectacular.

Addolorata Villa sits in Wheeling with 86 certified beds and a church-affiliated nonprofit owner. Staffing is the standout number: 4.97 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 10% below weekdays and turnover at 19% against a national 45.8%. That kind of retention usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. The inspection record is where it gets harder to read. Twenty-five deficiencies are on file, including eight at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $161,411. The most recent inspection was January 2026. Strong staffing, real quality marks, but a citation history a family should ask about directly.

Good Samaritan Home in Quincy runs 203 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.01 hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest thing in its file, and weekends dip only about 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is 44.4%, a hair under the national 45.8%. Against that, the current record shows 16 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus one fine of $26,640. The last inspection was August 2024. Staffing looks like the reason this home lands where it does; the deficiency history is what a family should ask about directly.
