Goldwater Care Princeton runs on a for-profit LLC model with 92 certified beds, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 2.75 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 5% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 42.4%, a touch better than the 45.8% norm. Inspections are recent, from August 2025, and the home carries 30 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. Quality measures land mid-range, and the health inspection record is comparatively strong. The tension is straightforward: solid survey results and average retention alongside thin daily staffing, which is what families feel most in day-to-day care.
Arc At Dwight is a for-profit, LLC-owned home with 92 certified beds in Livingston County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. At 2.66 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly 31 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 5 percent below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 42.3 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8. The health inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, six of them abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy level; the most recent inspection was April 18, 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection picture is what pulls this home's overall standing down to average.
Alden Terrace of McHenry runs 316 certified beds, and the nurse staffing number is where the trouble starts: 2.77 hours per resident day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 49.3% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses cycling through are stretched thin and often new. The inspection record backs that up: 49 deficiencies, four serious enough to cite harm or jeopardy, seven tied to abuse, and one fine of $11,170. The state surveyors last walked in March 2025, so the record is fairly current. Quality measures score well; staffing does not.
Oregon Living and Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit limited liability operation with 104 certified beds, and its federal staffing rating sits at the bottom of the scale, one out of five stars. That staffing picture matters given the record: 39 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The quality measure rating is two stars, and the last inspection was September 11, 2025, so the findings are current rather than stale. If you're weighing this home for someone you care about, the staffing number and the abuse-related deficiencies are the two things worth asking the administrator about directly before making a decision.
Rushville Nursing & Rehab Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.11 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 17% below its own weekday staffing. That gap shows up in the federal staffing star rating, which sits at the lowest rung even as the inspection rating reaches 4 out of 5. The 24 deficiencies on record include two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, and staff turnover at 46.8% edges just past the national figure. For-profit, LLC-owned, 96 beds, last inspected in April 2025.
Medina Nursing Center sits on the high side for nurse coverage, 4.27 hours per resident per day, roughly 11% above the national average, but that staffing thins out on weekends, dropping about 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover is the bigger concern: 53.1% of staff leave each year, against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is where this home really struggles: 31 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, eight tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $69,289, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. Corporate ownership, and the numbers behind them, warrant a close look.
Alden Estates Of Barrington runs a for-profit shop with 150 beds, and its turnover number is the standout: 26.5% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer aides and nurses are walking out the door than is typical. Staffing sits at 4.13 hours per resident day, about 7% above the national figure, though weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, four serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $18,395, with the last state visit in September 2024.
Aviston Countryside Manor runs on 2.87 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekend coverage drops further from there. Staff turnover sits at 52.9%, well above the national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse; the last inspection was June 2024. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and CMS rates staffing and health inspections at 2 out of 5 stars each. Quality measures score better at 3, but the staffing and inspection numbers are the ones worth weighing before you decide.
Bella Terra Bloomingdale is a for-profit, LLC-owned home with 166 beds in DuPage County, and its staffing is the number that stands out. At 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 9% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips another 6% below its own weekday level, a pattern families often notice when they visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 49.5% sits above the national 45.8%, so the staff caring for your relative may change often. The current record shows 43 deficiencies, four at the harm level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $10,358 and an inspection in February 2025.
Pavilion On Main Street runs 2.98 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national 3.86, and weekends dip another 9% under its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 34.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care, but the inspection record carries 29 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $122,009 in fines across two penalties. A 2/5 on health inspections and 2/5 on staffing, with the most recent survey in August 2025, tells you the state has been finding problems recently. This is a for-profit, individually owned home where the staffing numbers are the thing to ask about directly.
Pa Peterson At The Citadel runs about 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends dip another 6% below its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the staffing rating: 1 out of 5. Annual turnover sits at 59.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are changing often. The current record lists 63 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with one fine of $21,212. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection and 4/5 quality measure ratings suggest some clinical care is tracked well, but the staffing numbers and deficiency history are what a family should ask about directly.
Integrity Hc Of Carbondale is a for-profit LLC home with 131 beds, and the numbers here are hard to ignore. Fifty-two deficiencies sit on its current record, ten of them at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and eight tied to abuse. Three fines total $403,772, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. Staffing is the other red flag: the home earns one star there, well below average, even though its quality measure score looks strong at four stars. The last inspection was in February 2025. One star for health inspections, one for staffing, 52 deficiencies, that combination is what drives the grade down.
Midway Neurological in Bridgeview runs 404 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the hard part: 1.62 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 58% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 21% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 22.6%, which is actually low compared to the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't constant churn, it's how few hands are scheduled at once. The inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $55,162. Its last inspection was June 13, 2025. A for-profit corporation operates it.
Warren Barr Buffalo Grove runs 200 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 2% below the home's own weekday level, and the staffing star rating lands at 2 out of 5. Turnover is 40.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record carries 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. The last inspection was January 29, 2025, and fines total $9,311. Quality measures rate 4 out of 5, which may reflect clinical care, but the thin staffing and inspection history are what a family should weigh first.
Mount Sterling Health and Rehab runs on 2.86 nurse hours per resident per day, about a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star CMS staffing rating, and turnover of 54.2% means the aides and nurses who do show up are often new. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with $86,763 in fines and a February 2024 inspection date. The for-profit LLC ownership structure isn't unusual in Illinois, but combined with those numbers, staffing is the thing to ask hard questions about before moving anyone in.
Kensington Place runs on 2.19 nursing hours per resident per day, which is roughly 43 percent below the national average, and weekends are about a fifth thinner than weekdays. The staffing star rating reflects that. Turnover at 38.7 percent is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the problem isn't churn, it's raw hours on the floor. Inspectors last visited in May 2025 and logged 62 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and 16 tied to abuse. Ownership is a for-profit partnership. When you tour, ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor at 2 a.m. on a Saturday.
Aperion Care West Chicago runs 213 certified beds on 1.69 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 56% below the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are also the ones families tend to visit.
The inspection record shows 53 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level and 18 abuse-related, with four fines totaling $289,723. Retention is unusually steady at 20.3% turnover against a national 45.8%, which suggests the problem isn't churn but how few staff are scheduled per resident.
The most recent inspection closed January 31, 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. If you're weighing this one, ask how many nurses are actually on the floor on a Saturday.
Peterson Park runs about 11% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, and weekends dip slightly further below its own weekday levels, worth knowing if your visits tend to fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The 33 deficiencies on record include two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, which is a lot of inspection history to carry for a 196-bed for-profit home. Staff turnover sits at 37.1%, actually better than the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents aren't cycling out as fast as elsewhere. The tradeoff: consistent caregivers, but fewer of them per resident, and a recent November 2025 inspection that found real problems.
Park Ridge Healthcare Center runs 46 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.94 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, with weekends running about 13% thinner than weekdays. That said, the 14.3% annual turnover is remarkably low against a 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The trouble shows up in inspections: ten deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is where this home struggles.
Bria of Forest Edge is a 328-bed for-profit home on Chicago's far south side, and the numbers that stand out most aren't the ones on its marketing. Its 71 deficiencies include 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse, that's a pattern, not a one-off. Nurse staffing sits at 2.97 hours per resident day, well under the 3.86 national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level. The one bright spot is turnover: 36.1% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning workers stay longer than at a typical home. But with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and $407,863 in fines across three cases, that retention hasn't translated into safer care.
