Oak Trace runs on 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the health inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, two of them at the harm level, with no abuse citations and one fine of $13,780. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current. As a nonprofit with 104 beds in Downers Grove, it posts strong quality and staffing marks; the harm-level deficiencies and that weekend gap are the two things pulling an otherwise solid record down a notch.

Wynscape runs a 209-bed nonprofit home in Wheaton with nurse staffing at 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, though weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels, so ask how coverage holds up on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. Inspections are recent and strong, but the current record still carries 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. The high inspection and quality ratings reflect real strengths; the deficiency record is where the risk lives.

Heritage Square runs about 6.85 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 78 percent more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.6 percent sits well under the 45.8 percent typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage dips about 14 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The 11 deficiencies on record include nothing involving harm or abuse, and a September 2025 inspection found no health problems worth flagging. What stands out is the split: staffing and inspection results look strong, while the quality measure side tells a different story. A small nonprofit home with 27 beds, it leans hard on having enough hands on deck.

Concordia Village runs a church-affiliated nonprofit home with 62 beds in Springfield, and the staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage slips about 6% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 44.7%, essentially matching the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $8,678. The last inspection was August 2024. Quality measures land mid-range while staffing rates high, so the direct-care hours look better than the survey history.

Greenfields Of Geneva runs about 4.52 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 17% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.6% sits below the national 45.8%, meaning people tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $14,203. Weekend staffing drops about 12% from weekday levels, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The most recent inspection was in December 2025.

The Village at Victory Lakes runs a nonprofit home in Lindenhurst with 120 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest thing going for it, 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 10% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 34.8%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The trouble is the inspection record: 27 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and five fines totaling $389,691. Quality and staffing measures both rate well, but the last inspection in March 2026 and the weight of those health citations pull the overall picture down.

Prairieview Lutheran Home runs on a non-profit model with 90 certified beds in Danforth, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star and turnover at 34.5% against a national 45.8%. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about. The trouble sits in inspections. A 2/5 health inspection star, 28 total deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and four fines totaling $89,042, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. Good staffing doesn't erase a record like that, and it's the inspection history that drags this home down.

Eden Village Care Center runs on a nonprofit model in Glen Carbon with 107 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86. That's the kind of margin that shows up in daily care, though weekend coverage drops about 19% below its own weekday level, so families should ask how that gap gets managed. Staff turnover sits at 42.5%, a little better than the 45.8% national figure. Ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in February 2025.

Beacon Hill runs 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86, and that shows in its staffing rating. The catch is weekends: coverage drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so care thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 41.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning two in five caregivers left within the year. Inspections in July 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with two fines totaling $30,186. No abuse citations, and this nonprofit's quality measures hold at 4 out of 5.

Lutheran Hillside Village in Peoria runs on a nonprofit model with 107 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, though, so care isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover sits at 40.2%, lower than the 45.8% national rate, which matters for continuity. On inspections, the home holds a 5/5 rating with its last visit in December 2024, and while 13 deficiencies appear on the current record, none reached harm or jeopardy level, just one is abuse-related.

The British Home in Brookfield runs a nonprofit operation with 72 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.49 hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average of 3.86. That helps explain the top staffing rating from CMS. Weekend coverage runs roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 45.1%, essentially matching the national average of 45.8%, so retention isn't a standout problem here. The inspection record is more mixed: 18 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. The last inspection was February 27, 2025. Quality and inspection ratings both sit at 4 out of 5.

The Willows Health Center runs 50 certified beds in Rockford under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits well above average, 5.21 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 35% more than the national figure. That's the strongest card in its hand, though weekend coverage drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so the weekday-to-weekend difference is worth asking about. The trade-off shows up in its record: 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus three tied to abuse, and one fine of $12,909. With the last inspection dated November 2025 and quality and staffing each rated 4 out of 5, you're looking at a home that invests in staff but has real compliance problems to weigh.

Radford Green runs on 5.41 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 40% above the national average, and weekend staffing holds within about 6% of weekday levels, rare for a for-profit home. Annual turnover sits at 35.7%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people around your parent are more likely to stay. The caution is on the record: 25 deficiencies, 6 serious enough to risk harm, one tied to abuse, and $68,794 in fines, with the last inspection in February 2025. Strong staffing and quality measures, a thinner inspection history. Worth asking the administrator directly what changed since.

Plymouth Place runs 4.56 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% above the national average, and that staffing depth shows in the numbers: a 4-out-of-5 staffing star and a 5-out-of-5 inspection star, with the most recent survey completed in February 2026. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The record isn't spotless, 11 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. This is a nonprofit home with solid clinical foundations and one past lapse to weigh.

Brandel Health And Rehab runs on 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 6% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Annual turnover of 22.7% is about half the national rate, which matters for whether the aides and nurses caring for your family member stick around. Inspections are recent and the health inspection rating is strong, but the record still carries three deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, and the quality measure rating sits at 2 out of 5. That split, solid staffing and inspection results against weaker clinical quality measures, is what pulls the grade to a B.

Lincolnwood Place runs a tight ship on staffing, and that matters more than anything else here. Nurses provide 4.15 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and only about 29% of staff leave each year compared to 46% nationally, a big deal for consistency of care. Weekends dip about 5% below weekday coverage, worth asking about. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: nine deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $42,026 in fines. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the picture is current. For a 40-bed for-profit home, the low turnover and strong staffing are real strengths; the two harm-level citations are the piece to press them on.

Luther Oaks sits in Bloomington with just 19 certified beds, so it's a small operation, and small homes can go either way. The staffing number looks solid at 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, though weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The bigger issue is turnover: 61.5% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning a lot of caregivers are cycling through. Inspections in August 2024 turned up 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. Good quality measure scores, but the inspection record and churn are worth asking about directly.

Hearthwood runs 60 beds in Bartlett under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.85 nurse hours per resident day. That average hides a gap, though: weekends run about 15% leaner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Turnover is the genuine bright spot at 35.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether aides and nurses actually know your family member. The inspection record is clean where it counts, 10 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last survey was November 2025, so the picture is current. A 5/5 inspection rating with solid quality and staffing marks explains the B without much drama.

Franciscan Village runs on the nonprofit side of things in Lemont, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday may not match what you'd see on a Tuesday. The recurring problems show up in the inspection record: 29 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to cause actual harm, and two fines totaling $44,220. Staff turnover of 48.2% is slightly above the national rate, which usually means hiring and retraining costs that don't show up on a spreadsheet. Your best question for the administrator is how those three harm-level deficiencies were resolved, and what weekend coverage actually looks like.

Celebrate Senior Living Niles runs 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86, and its 38.6% turnover sits below the national 45.8%, staff tend to stay longer here than at the typical home. Weekend coverage dips about 9% under weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The record isn't spotless: six deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $29,754, though none tied to abuse. A 4/5 inspection rating from the most recent survey in October 2024 suggests the problems were addressed rather than ongoing.
