Staff turnover

Elevate Care North Branch runs 212 beds in Niles, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 41.4 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record is the heavier problem: 56 deficiencies, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $234,006. The most recent inspection was April 18, 2025.

Robinson Rehab and Nursing runs 3.51 nursing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage. That thin weekend margin matters most when a resident needs help on a Saturday night. Staff turnover sits at 47.6%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure, and the 19 deficiencies on record include three at the harm or jeopardy level. One fine totaling $14,015 has been levied. The for-profit partnership was inspected most recently on November 21, 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. Ask about weekend coverage and how long direct-care staff tend to stay.

The Grove Of Skokie runs a five-star health inspection record with its most recent survey in May 2025, and only 10 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to cause harm. That inspection performance is genuinely strong. The problem sits elsewhere: nurse staffing at 2.44 hours per resident day runs about 37 percent under the national average, and the quality measure score is weak too. One thing that stands out is turnover, 16.7 percent against a national average near 46 percent, which suggests the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Weekend coverage holds close to weekday levels, so the shortfall isn't a weekend problem. It's a staffing number that stays low all week.

Allure Of Prophetstown runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.71 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 5% below what it manages during the week, when families often visit. The inspection record is the heavier problem: 34 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and a $45,133 fine. Staff turnover of 35.7% actually beats the national figure of 45.8%, so the people who stay may know the building. But a for-profit corporation, a recent September 2025 inspection, and low marks across health, quality, and staffing tell you where the trouble sits.

Helia Healthcare of Benton runs on thin staffing: 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage. The 47.8% turnover rate is a bit worse than the national figure, and CMS gives staffing a single star. Inspections are the bright spot, a five-star health inspection rating, a clean record on abuse, and the last visit came in May 2025. Still, five deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. Corporate ownership, a low staffing score, and that one high-level citation are what hold the overall picture back.

Stephenson Nursing Center is county-run, which often means a public meeting before anything changes, slower fixes, but also a paper trail. The numbers here show a building running lean: 3.06 nursing hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. State inspectors have logged 37 deficiencies, four serious enough to put a resident in harm's way and nine tied to abuse. One fine of $18,450 is on record, and the last inspection was in February 2025. Ask the administrator how they cover weekend call-offs and what changed after those abuse findings.

White County Rehab and Nursing runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.5% is better than the typical 45.8%. The catch is weekends: coverage drops roughly a fifth below the weekday level, and a 1-out-of-5 staffing star says the daily numbers don't hold up. Its record shows 39 deficiencies, including 2 at harm level and 10 tied to abuse, with one $142,002 fine. Inspectors last visited in February 2025, so the picture is current. Ownership is a for-profit partnership. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, but good resident outcomes don't cancel out a thin, unstable floor staff.

Asbury Gardens is a 75-bed for-profit home in North Aurora, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with the most recent survey completed in January 2026. The trouble sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing runs 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 55.4% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through steadily. Twenty deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $6,350 in fines across two penalties.

Heather Health Care Center runs on 2.36 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 39% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are also the least supervised. That staffing shortfall sits alongside 36 deficiencies on the current record, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $308,658. Turnover at 35.1% is better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating is strong, but a 1/5 inspection rating with a March 2026 survey that recent tells you the problems are current rather than historical.

Ryze West runs 2.28 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 41% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows in the federal stars: one out of five for staffing, two for health inspections. The inspection record carries 72 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $127,940. Turnover sits at 47.3%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The five-star quality measure rating reflects resident assessments, not the hands available to help. The most recent inspection was May 24, 2024. For-profit corporate ownership, 234 beds.

Carlton At The Lake runs 244 beds on Chicago's South Side under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing: 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average. Weekends drop about 5 percent below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 33.1 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled at once. The inspection record is heavier. Sixty-two deficiencies, six serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, eight tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $241,131. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Ask about staffing on weekends and how the abuse citations were resolved.

The Pearl of Fox River Valley runs about 10% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, the stretch when families typically visit and problems surface. Turnover sits at 48.5%, a few points above the national rate, so the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. Its record shows 30 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $142,448. The last inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current.

The Pavilion of Logan Square runs 222 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.12 nurse hours per resident day sits well under the national 3.86, with weekends dipping about 12% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage likely explains the one-star CMS staffing rating. What's interesting is the 20.8% turnover, less than half the national average, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The clinical record is the bigger problem: 52 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $67,360 in fines. The last inspection was August 2025. Steady workers, thin hours, and a long citation history.

Nurse staffing at Countryside runs about 2.58 hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, which tells you the weakest coverage lands when families are most likely to visit. The inspection record is heavy: 53 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse. Staff turnover of 42.3% is slightly better than the national figure, so the problem looks more like too few hands than constant churn. This individually owned, 197-bed home draws a 1 out of 5 on CMS's staffing rating, and with its last inspection in July 2025, ask directly what has changed since.

Warren Barr Orland Park runs 275 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the story sits. At 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, it lands about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip another 4% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 51.2% outpaces the national 45.8%, which matters more than a single day's census because it means unfamiliar hands on repeat. The current record shows 35 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $60,348. The last inspection was April 2025, so that record is recent. Quality measures score well; staffing is the weak point.

Greenville Nursing & Rehab runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.34 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the strong point: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with the last survey in August 2024. But 17 deficiencies are on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $10,874 fine. Quality and staffing each rate 2 out of 5, and turnover of 45.6% tracks the national average almost exactly, meaning staffing stability isn't better here, just typical.

Inverness Rehab runs 142 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out. At 3.00 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 48.6% edges past the 45.8% national figure, meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over each year. The current record carries 34 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and six abuse-related, plus one fine of $22,679. The last inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing does not.

Alhambra Rehab & Healthcare runs on 2.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, though turnover at 41.7% is actually a little better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections tell a different story: a 5/5 health inspection rating and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, with the last visit in May 2025. But 13 total deficiencies and two abuse-related findings sit on the record, and the quality measure rating is only 2/5.

Florence Nursing Home runs on thin staffing. At 3.25 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average, and weekends dip slightly below its own weekday levels, so the coverage gap isn't just a weekday problem. Annual turnover of 61.3% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning a large share of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. What keeps this from being a bigger concern is the inspection record: a 5/5 health inspection rating, nine deficiencies with none at the harm level, and no abuse findings, most recently surveyed in May 2025. The state didn't find dangerous care here, the numbers suggest the risk is more about consistency than safety.

Avenues At Springfield runs 65 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble sits. At 1.58 nurse hours per resident day, it's roughly 59% below the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 13% lighter than weekdays already short of help. Annual turnover of 59.3% against a 45.8% national average means aides and nurses cycle through fast, which matters most for residents who need consistent hands. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was January 2026. Quality measures score well, but that's largely built from documentation, not from people in the building.
