Carrier Mills Nsg & Rehab Ctr runs 99 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.74 hours per resident day, roughly 29% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so the hours thin out right when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 30.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and inspectors gave the place a 5/5 health inspection rating as recently as September 2025. But seven deficiencies sit on the current record, one at harm or jeopardy level, with a single $12,735 fine. Quality measures score 1/5, staffing stars 2/5. Good inspections, thin daily coverage.
Twin Lakes Extended Care runs 56 beds in Paris under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record is where things get heavy: 29 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to endanger residents, five tied to abuse, and a $71,455 fine. The last full inspection was in June 2024, so that record is fairly current. Quality measures score well; staffing is the weak point.
Nokomis Hc & Senior Living runs 92 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where families should focus first. A one-star staffing rating against the national average means nurse aide and RN hours per resident are well below what most homes provide, and thin coverage is the kind of thing that shows up in daily care long before it shows up in a survey. The inspection record backs that up: 27 deficiencies on file, including three serious enough to put residents in harm's way and four tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $34,418 have been issued, and the last full inspection was in November 2024.
Montgomery Nursing & Rehab Center runs about 2.99 nursing hours per resident per day, well under the national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time than typical. Weekends dip even further, about 6% below the home's own weekday staffing, and the 38.1% annual turnover, while lower than the national 45.8%, still means more than a third of the staff leaves each year. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $12,048 fine. A March 2025 inspection is recent, and the 4-star health inspection rating suggests the survey itself went reasonably well, but the 1-star staffing rating and 2-star quality measures tell a different story about daily care.
Elevate Care Des Plaines runs 275 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should get your attention. Thirty-six deficiencies on file, ten of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus two abuse-related findings and $246,873 in federal fines across four separate penalties. Staffing sits at 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover of 44.6% tracks close to the national figure, so that's not the outlier here. The last full inspection was in August 2024, and the state's most recent health inspection rating came in at 2 out of 5.
Celebrate Sr Living Of Moline runs a lean nursing floor: 3.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 41.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. Inspections tell a different story than daily coverage. The home's record shows 17 deficiencies, two at the harm level, one fine of $21,684, and a survey as recent as May 2025. The federal inspection and quality ratings disagree sharply, which is worth asking about directly before you decide.
Momence Meadows runs about 2.52 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a third below the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip below even that. Staff turnover sits near 51%, higher than the 45.8% national average, so the people providing care keep changing. The inspection record is the harder read: 53 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and eleven tied to abuse. That's what sits behind the low marks on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. With 140 beds under individual for-profit ownership and a November 2024 inspection on the books, this is a home where you'd want to visit unannounced, ask who actually covers weekends, and look closely at how complaints get handled.
Helia Healthcare Of Newton runs on 2.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% below the national average of 3.86, that's a real gap in daily coverage, not a rounding difference. The 33 deficiencies on the current record include one at the harm level, though none are abuse-related, and the last inspection was September 2024. Staff turnover sits at 45.2%, almost exactly the national figure, so retention isn't the problem here; the thin staffing is. Weekend hours dip only about 1% below weekdays, so the shortage is steady rather than a weekend-specific hole. Ownership is for-profit corporate. With quality and staffing each rated 2 of 5, the numbers point to a home that's staying in compliance but running lean.
Pearl Of Montclare runs 96 certified beds on Chicago's northwest side under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home schedules on weekdays, that gap matters most when families visit and see fewer aides on the floor. Staff turnover runs 50.5%, above the 45.8% national figure, which means roughly half the caregiver workforce turns over in a year. The current inspection record carries 56 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus $53,336 in fines across three events. The last inspection was March 2025.
Alden Long Grove runs 248 beds in Lake County, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.74 hours per resident day, roughly 29% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the quietest shifts get the thinnest help. Turnover is 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, but that's the one number here that reads favorably. The current inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $183,548 in fines across three penalties. The last inspection was January 2026. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically how they cover weekends and what changed since those harm-level findings.
Dixon Rehab & Hcc runs about 3.46 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 33.3%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem here isn't retention, it's sheer hours on the floor. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 21 deficiencies, six serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding, and two fines totaling $34,753. The last inspection was October 2024, so the record is fairly current. Quality and staffing scores both land at 2 out of 5.
Aperion Care Burbank sits right around the national average for total nurse staffing, 3.88 hours per resident day versus 3.86, but that average hides a problem: weekend coverage drops about 6% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and CMS gives the place just 2 of 5 stars for staffing overall. The inspection record is where things get more serious. Twenty-five deficiencies are on file, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse. Five fines totaling $90,114 have been levied. Turnover at 41.4% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but it's still a lot of churn. Corporate-owned, 56 beds, last inspected August 2024.
Mcleansboro Rehab & Hlth C Ctr sits in Hamilton County with 43 certified beds and an individual for-profit owner. Inspectors have been in recently, June 2024, and the record shows 11 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That's a heavy citation load for a home this small, and it comes with a $45,123 fine. The staffing picture is the other half of the story: the federal staffing rating is just 1 out of 5, meaning direct care hours fall well short of what CMS expects. A 4-star inspection rating doesn't cancel that out. When a facility is thinly staffed and has documented abuse and harm-level findings, families should ask direct questions about who's on the floor overnight and how complaints get handled.
Silver Foxes runs a 60-bed for-profit home in Mcleansboro with a strong inspection record, six deficiencies on file, none tied to abuse, and its most recent state visit came in November 2024. The staffing side tells a different story. At 2.53 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about a third under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip slightly below its own weekday level. Annual turnover hits 63% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year won't be there next year. One deficiency rose to the harm level. Good surveys don't staff the floor.
Decatur Rehab & Health Care Center runs 58 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the federal numbers are rough across the board. Inspectors have logged 89 deficiencies on the current record, including 9 tied to abuse and 5 serious enough to put residents in immediate harm or jeopardy. Staffing levels sit far below what CMS expects, the one-star rating there means fewer caregivers per resident than the national average, which matters most when someone needs help with daily tasks or a quick response. The last full inspection was September 25, 2024, and the home has one fine on record for $25,500. When a building carries this many health and safety citations alongside thin staffing, families should ask hard questions before moving anyone in.
Miller's Merry Manor in Marion runs 176 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner still, dropping about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters because that's when families often visit and when problems tend to surface. Staff turnover is 56.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the current record carries 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was January 6, 2026, so the picture is recent. Nothing here is abuse-related, but the staffing and turnover numbers explain why this home lands where it does.
Premier Healthcare Of New Harmony runs 96 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers worth knowing sit in two places: inspections and staffing. Federal inspectors cited 52 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, findings serious enough to pull the health inspection rating down to 1 out of 5. Staffing tells a similar story, also 1 out of 5, with annual turnover at 55.1% against a national average of 45.8%. The quality measure rating of 3 out of 5 is the strongest piece here, and the last inspection was recent, in December 2025. Ask about direct care hours per resident and what the facility is doing to keep nurses and aides from leaving.
The Waters of Syracuse runs on thin staffing: 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 61.8% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely to change often. The inspection record is the harder problem, 34 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Ownership is for-profit, a limited liability company. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, but that reflects resident assessments, not the staffing and safety problems underneath them.
Azria Health Winterset runs 65 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover at 42.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record is the bigger concern: 30 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. That March 2026 inspection is recent, and the two-out-of-five ratings on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing all point the same direction.
Country Lane Manor runs on thin staffing: 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 10 percent below its own weekday levels. That's the kind of gap that shows up as unanswered call lights. Turnover sits at 62.1 percent against a 45.8 percent national figure, so the aides who know your mother's routines keep leaving. The inspection record is the harder read: 57 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and a $59,150 fine, with the last state visit in August 2025. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. The quality star rating of 4 out of 5 is real, but it measures a narrow slice of care.
