Westminster Place runs on 5.23 nurse hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover of 23.1% is roughly half the national rate. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in October 2024 and top marks from CMS for both inspections and staffing. As a nonprofit, it isn't answering to shareholders, and the numbers reflect that stability.

Fairfield Memorial Hospital runs a small 30-bed unit in Wayne County, and the numbers behind it hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 4.77 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 12% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop-off than many homes show. Staff turnover is 29.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The health inspection rating is 5 out of 5, with the last survey done in October 2024.

For a family weighing a placement, that single high-level deficiency is the detail worth asking about directly.

Four deficiencies sit on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was in late 2024. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership with 100 certified beds.

That's roughly a third more hands-on care than most homes provide, and the people delivering it tend to stay, turnover sits at 12.1% while the national figure is closer to 46%. Weekend coverage does dip about 11% below its own weekday level, worth knowing if you'll be visiting Saturdays and Sundays.

Nurse staffing at Selfhelp Home of Chicago runs 4.85 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekends dip only about 9% below weekdays, a modest drop compared with what many homes see. Annual turnover sits at 24.4%, well under the national 45.8%. The tradeoff is on the inspection side: 21 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the last inspection in August 2024. The nonprofit's quality and staffing measure ratings are both top-tier, so the care numbers look strong; the open question is how that one serious deficiency fits with everything else.

Little Sisters of the Poor of Palatine runs 49 certified beds on Palatine's north side, and the numbers behind its record are unusually steady for a home this size. Nurse staffing sits at 5.74 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only about 10% below its own weekday level, which matters because weekend gaps are where a lot of homes quietly slip. Staff turnover of 18.2% is well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Five deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in November 2024.

Community First Medical Center sits on Chicago's north side with 66 certified beds and a for-profit individual owner. The staffing numbers stand out: 7.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover of 31.3% beats the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is mixed but not alarming. Twenty deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related citation. The last inspection was August 2024, so the record is reasonably current. CMS gives it four stars for health inspections and quality measures, five for staffing. What the numbers describe is a small home that invests heavily in nursing hours and retains staff better than most, while carrying a moderate deficiency load and a slight weekend gap worth asking about directly.

Staff turnover is 30.4 percent against a national average near 46 percent, which matters for continuity of care. Fourteen deficiencies on record sounds like a lot until you see none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse; the last inspection was September 2024. Small, stable, and inspected recently.

Tabor Hills is a nonprofit home in Naperville with 96 beds, and the numbers here are unusually steady. Nurse staffing runs 4.91 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, though weekends dip about 16% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that gap gets covered.

Meridian Village Care Center runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership in Glen Carbon, and the numbers back up what that structure often buys: time with residents. Nurse staffing sits at 4.66 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and weekends dip only about 5% below weekdays, a small gap compared with what many homes show. Staff turnover is 28%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. The current record carries seven deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A 5/5 inspection rating and a November 2024 survey round out a record that looks stable rather than lucky.

Blessing Hospital Snu runs 20 certified beds in Quincy, and the numbers behind its record are strong. Nurse staffing sits at 6.69 hours per resident day, roughly 73% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips about 32% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinner on Saturdays and Sundays even though the overall floor is high.

Renaissance Care Center runs 7.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average, and that staffing shows up in a lower turnover rate too, 26.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekdays, which is a normal pattern but worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays. The tradeoff sits on the inspection side: 28 deficiencies on record, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. State surveyors were last in on January 9, 2025, so the findings are recent. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified at 120 beds, this is a home with real bedside hours and a compliance record that needs a closer look before you decide.

Apostolic Christian Skylines runs on 4.92 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. The 42.2% turnover is a touch better than the national 45.8%, meaning most caregivers who start here tend to stay a while. State inspectors visited in October 2024 and found nine deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and none tied to abuse. Five stars on both inspections and staffing, four on quality measures, the weaker numbers sit in care outcomes, not in who's on the floor.

The Admiral At The Lake runs on 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 15.2 percent sits far below the 45.8 percent typical elsewhere. Weekend staffing dips about 11 percent under weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The 25 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in March 2026. For a 36-bed nonprofit, the pattern is steady care with a stable workforce, though that single harm-level finding deserves a direct question about what happened and what changed.

Dupage Care Center runs 366 beds in Wheaton under county ownership, and its staffing holds up well against national norms, 4.11 nurse hours per resident day versus 3.86 nationally, with turnover at 16.9% compared to the 45.8% average, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections in September 2025 turned up 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, so the record is not spotless. Weekend staffing sits about 14% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly.

Gibson Community Hsp Annex runs a small 16-bed operation in Gibson City, and the numbers behind its A grade mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 4.71 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 9% below weekdays, a gap that's usually much wider elsewhere. Annual turnover of 23.1% is about half the national rate, which matters in a building this size where one departure is felt immediately. What keeps it from a perfect score is the inspection record: 11 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $20,046 fine. No abuse findings, and the most recent inspection was December 2025, so the picture is current.

The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 16 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related.
