Piggott Healthcare & Senior Living runs 105 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.10 hours per resident day, roughly 20 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11 percent leaner than weekdays, so the hours when families tend to visit are also the thinnest. Staff turnover is 63.3 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning most of the people caring for residents in any given year weren't there the year before. The current inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a $12,649 fine and a September 2025 inspection. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, sit at one out of five.
Parkview Julian runs 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, which barely edges out the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops about 5% below its own weekday level. The bigger concern is turnover: 65.3% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS rates staffing at just one star. Inspections tell a harder story, 81 deficiencies on record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with a $59,560 fine. The last inspection was December 2025. This is a for-profit LLC, and families should ask directly how it plans to keep consistent, trained aides on the floor.
Carrollton Crossing runs on 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 12% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 100%, roughly double the national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are largely new or on their way out. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a 2/5 health inspection rating and a 1/5 on quality measures. Fines so far total $3,728, which is modest, but the last inspection was April 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and how long current staff have actually been on the floor.
The numbers at Woodstock Center are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.04 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run thinner still, about 8% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 63.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, fairly new to the building.
Its current inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. CMS gave it 2 out of 5 stars on health inspections and 1 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so that record is current, not stale.
Nurse staffing at Lake City Center runs 2.84 hours per resident day, roughly 27 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 9 percent below its own weekday level. Turning over more than half its nursing staff in a year, 56.6 percent against a national 45.8, makes consistency harder to maintain. The building carries 21 deficiencies on its current record, none reaching harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was April 19, 2026. A 242-bed for-profit LLC, it earned 1 of 5 stars from CMS on both staffing and quality measures, 2 of 5 on health inspections. That combination of thin coverage and high turnover is what families should weigh.
Avenora Elmhurst runs on 1.44 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a third of the national figure and the kind of number that shows up on weekends too, when coverage drops another 5 percent below its own weekday level. The inspection record backs that up: 36 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with $216,044 in fines across four separate penalties. Staff turnover sits at 46.9 percent, right about where the national average is, so this isn't a retention crisis, it's a staffing-level one, in a for-profit building that state inspectors last visited in October 2024 and rated one star.
Aperion Care Oak Lawn runs on thin staffing, about 3.08 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop even further below its own weekday levels. That's a problem when you consider the inspection record: 62 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and 13 tied to abuse. More than half the nursing staff turns over in a year, well above the national rate of 45.8%, which makes consistent care hard to sustain. Federal fines total just over $52,000 across four penalties, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. For-profit ownership under a limited liability company rounds out a picture where the numbers consistently point the same direction.
Helia Southbelt Healthcare runs 156 certified beds in Belleville under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers behind its record are hard to read any other way. Nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average, with weekends about 3% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is stretched before you even get to the harder measures. Inspectors have cited 65 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, and the fines total $240,982. Staff turnover of 37.8% is actually below the national figure, which may be the one bright spot; the last inspection was in September 2025.
Fondulac runs on 2.89 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star CMS staffing rating and a one-star inspection rating, with 65 deficiencies on the current record, six serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse. Two fines total $146,601, and the most recent inspection was August 2024, so that record reflects where things stood then. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the quality measure rating of three stars doesn't offset what the inspection and staffing numbers show.
Quincy Healthcare & Sr Living runs 89 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth knowing are the staffing ones. Nurses provide 3.38 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 57.6% sits well above the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record carries 39 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus three fines totaling $61,926. The last inspection was July 9, 2025. Ownership and staffing together explain more here than any single rating.
Hillside runs lean on nursing hours, 2.77 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 28% below, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday levels. The inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $158,570 in fines across three penalties; the last inspection was in May 2026. Ownership is for-profit through a limited liability company, and staff turnover sits at 44.7%, essentially matching the national rate rather than improving on it. Quality measure and staffing ratings both land at the low end, and the health inspection rating is middling at best.
Mount Vernon Countryside Manor runs on 2.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip even lower than its own weekday levels. The staffing star rating sits at 1 out of 5, and turnover runs 49.4% against a national 45.8%, nearly half the nursing staff cycling out in a year. On inspections, the record shows 22 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $126,387 in fines across four penalties. The most recent inspection was January 2025. For-profit corporate ownership. If you're weighing this one, ask hard questions about weekend coverage and how they've corrected the abuse-related findings.
Fair Oaks runs leaner than most. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 11 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 12 percent below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is the bigger issue: 61.3 percent a year against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning most of the people caring for residents are still learning the building.
The inspection record backs that up. Thirty-six deficiencies, four serious enough to cause harm, two tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $71,124. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current, not stale. For-profit corporate ownership, 78 beds.
Bria Of River Oaks runs 309 beds in Burnham, and the number that should give you pause is 2.86 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, with weekends thinner still. Turnover sits at 35.6%, which is actually better than average, so the problem isn't a churning workforce; it's that there don't appear to be enough hands scheduled. The inspection record is heavy: 38 deficiencies, 13 of them at harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, and eight fines totaling $270,248. Its last inspection was July 2024. For-profit corporate ownership. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse plan before you tour.
Austin Oasis is a 216-bed for-profit home in Chicago, and the federal numbers on it are grim. Staffing earns one star out of five, meaning residents here get fewer caregiving hours than the national average, and that gap is where falls, sores, and missed medications tend to happen. The inspection record shows 68 deficiencies, including 8 that put residents in immediate harm and 13 tied to abuse. Seven fines totaling $607,298 have piled up, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. Low staffing plus a harm-level deficiency pattern is the combination families should weigh hardest. If you're considering this one, ask to see the current plan of correction and how the home is fixing its staffing shortfall.
Shelbyville Healthcare & Senior Living runs well under the national staffing average, 2.87 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, when coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level. That shortfall shows up in the numbers: 44 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at the harm level and 4 tied to abuse, with the last inspection in August 2024.
Staff turnover sits at 60% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning roughly six in ten workers left over the year. Federal ratings put staffing and quality measures at 1 out of 5 stars each, with health inspections at 2. All of this sits under a for-profit corporate owner.
Vandalia Healthcare & Senior Living runs 116 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with first: 3.06 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a fifth below, with weekends about 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 59.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses in the building keep changing. The inspection record backs that up: 35 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and one fine of $14,720, with the most recent survey dated November 20, 2025. Quality and staffing each scored one star out of five; health inspections scored three. Families should ask how the home covers weekends and how long its current staff have actually been there.
Aperion Care Hanover runs 125 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are thin: 3.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 55.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are frequently new to the building. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 57 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $53,874 fine. Its most recent inspection was April 2026. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how they've addressed the abuse-related findings.
Warsaw Meadows runs 80 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers worth knowing sit in its inspection record and its staffing. State inspectors have cited 29 deficiencies, four of them at a level involving actual harm or jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. Fines total $105,073, and the most recent inspection was September 8, 2025.
Nurse staffing comes to 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends about 4% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover runs 54.7%, against a national 45.8%. CMS rates the health inspection side 1 out of 5, staffing and quality measures 2 out of 5 each.
If you're weighing this one, ask about the abuse citations directly, and ask how the weekend shift is covered.
The corporate-owned home on East 6th Street has been cited 42 times on its current record, including four deficiencies where residents were actually harmed and two tied to abuse. Fines total $70,521 across three separate penalties. Staffing looks decent on paper, 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but 72.2% of the staff turned over in a year, well past the 45.8% norm, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. That combination is hard to sustain. The most recent inspection, in January 2026, didn't fix it; the health and quality ratings both sit at the bottom. For a 45-bed building in Reno County, that's a lot of enforcement for a small census.
