Chalet Living & Rehab runs on 2.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekend coverage dips further below its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the inspection record: 54 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and $390,344 in fines. The one number that stands out in the other direction is staff turnover at 20.4%, well under the national 45.8%, a stable workforce that nonetheless hasn't translated into adequate hours per resident. This is a 219-bed for-profit run by a corporation, last inspected January 9, 2026. The question for your family isn't whether the staff care; it's whether there are enough of them on weekends.
South Elgin Living & Rehab Center runs on 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are when families tend to visit. That's the tension here: staff turnover of 24.5% is unusually low against a 45.8% national figure, yet 58 deficiencies sit on the current record, including four at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $230,403 in fines. The last inspection was May 2024. Consistent caregivers matter, but they're working inside a for-profit operation whose inspection history has been the persistent problem.
Harmony Palos runs a 130-bed for-profit home in Palos Heights, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.08 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 20% under the national average, weekends dip further, and 64.1% annual turnover means many of the aides and nurses your relative sees are still new. The inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $25,874; the most recent state visit was November 2024. Ownership is a limited liability company, which limits who is personally on the hook if something goes wrong.
The Haven of Bridgeport runs about 2.59 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and staffing drops another 13% on weekends when oversight tends to be thinnest. That thin coverage shows up in the results: a 1-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating, 20 deficiencies on the current record including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the last inspection in May 2024. Annual turnover sits at 48.6%, above the 45.8% national figure. For-profit corporate ownership and a 2-out-of-5 quality measure rating round out a picture worth weighing carefully against other homes in the area.
Aperion Care Midlothian runs on 3.04 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends are thinner still, about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That matters because turnover sits at 56%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people covering those shifts are often new. Inspectors cited 32 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. One fine totaling $19,565 has been assessed. The home is individually owned for profit, holds 91 certified beds, and its staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at the low end of CMS's scale.
Arcadia Care Kewanee runs on 3.12 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average, and staffing gets thinner on weekends, about 9% below its own weekday level. That's the pattern behind a one-star CMS staffing rating. The 56 deficiencies on record include four at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single $201,299 fine. Turnover is actually the better number here at 31.1%, well under the national 45.8%, so the problem isn't churn so much as how few hands are scheduled. The last inspection is recent, January 2026, and the quality measure rating sits at three stars.
South Shore Rehabilitation runs 248 beds on Chicago's far southeast side, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.05 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 21% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 44.2% is close to the national figure, so that's not the outlier here. What stands out is the inspection record: 55 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $478,448. The most recent inspection was August 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Ask about weekend coverage and the plan of correction before you decide.
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.
Aperion Care Kokomo runs 105 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the clearest trouble spot: 3.34 nurse hours per resident per day sits about 14% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, and 57.7% of staff turn over each year against a 45.8% national rate. That thin, churning workforce is hard to separate from the inspection record, 32 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one $15,593 fine. The last inspection was recent, August 2025. Quality measures score mid-range, but low staffing and a long deficiency history are what a family should weigh here.
Aperion Care Arbors in Michigan City runs 180 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 3.42 nurse hours per resident per day, about 11% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 14% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 49.6%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is heavier still, 69 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. The last inspection was in December 2025, and CMS scored health inspections and staffing at 1 out of 5 stars each. Quality measures came in at 3.
The Waters of Lebanon runs on 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 10 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 65.9 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents change often. Its record shows 31 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level; the last inspection was September 11, 2025. CMS rates staffing 1 out of 5 stars and inspections 2 out of 5, while quality measures score 4 out of 5, a split worth asking about directly. Corporate ownership means decisions about staffing levels get made well above the building.
Signature Healthcare of Muncie is a for-profit home with 140 beds, and its inspection record is the first thing to look at: 59 deficiencies, including 17 tied to abuse and one at the level that caused actual harm or put residents in jeopardy. The last inspection was March 20, 2026, so the record is recent. Nurse staffing sits at 3.80 hours per resident day, slightly below the national average, and it thins out on weekends by roughly 15% compared to weekdays. Staff turnover is 70.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The quality measure rating looks strong on paper, but that's survey data, not the inspection findings.
Aperion Care Monroe runs 38 beds in Bloomington under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9 percent below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46.4 percent, close to the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning nearly half the nursing staff changes over in a year. The current record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was August 2025, and CMS gives it 3 stars for health inspections, 2 for quality measures, and 1 for staffing.
Waters of Wakarusa runs 133 certified beds as a for-profit partnership, and its current inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level, though none abuse-related. Staffing sits at 3.46 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover is 57.1% compared with 45.8% nationally. A single fine of $14,661 appears on the record, and the most recent inspection was March 14, 2025. The one-star health inspection rating tells you where the trouble concentrates: not in the quality measures, which score mid-range, but in how consistently the building meets federal requirements day to day.
Harmony Cedar Rapids runs 74% annual staff turnover against a national average of 45.8%, that means roughly three in four caregivers who work here won't be here a year from now. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national figure, and weekends drop another 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. Its current inspection record carries 27 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 stars. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. The most recent inspection was March 3, 2026, and CMS has fined the home once, for $10,358.
Meadowbrook Rehabilitation Hospital in Gardner runs 42 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are on the inspection side. The current record shows 47 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, and CMS gave the home a 1 out of 5 on health inspections. Three fines totaling $98,974 have been levied. Staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends running roughly 10% lighter than weekdays, and turnover at 51.1% against a national 45.8%. Quality measures rate better than the inspection record does, but that gap itself tells you something.
Great Plains Post Acute runs about 3.63 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits on top of a 78.9% annual turnover rate, far above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. The record shows 61 deficiencies, nine of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, five tied to abuse, plus $49,505 in fines from five separate penalties. A for-profit LLC owns the 118-bed building, and its last inspection was April 22, 2026.
Kenwood View runs a for-profit operation with 82 beds, and its staffing is the first thing I'd flag. At 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The current inspection record carries 47 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Quality measures score 1 out of 5, and that's with a December 2024 inspection, so the picture is fairly recent. Turnover near 45% matches the national rate, meaning steady churn rather than stability. Worth asking direct questions before committing.
Wilson Care and Rehab runs 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 65.1% against a national average of 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses your family member sees are cycling through faster than at most homes. The 28 deficiencies on record aren't the alarming kind, none at harm level, none tied to abuse, and the last inspection was recent, December 2025. But with 40 beds, for-profit LLC ownership, and middling marks on both quality measures and staffing, this is a home where the numbers say adequate, not strong.
Belleville Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.09 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, roughly 20 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13 percent below its own weekday levels, which matters when families visit less and problems go unnoticed. Staff turnover sits at 50.9 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents keep changing. Its record shows 29 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $33,616 in CMS fines. The most recent inspection was September 16, 2025. This is a for-profit corporation-owned home where all three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5.
