Alden Town Manor runs 249 beds in Cicero, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. At 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record backs that up: 49 deficiencies, nine of them at the harm or jeopardy level, nine tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $270,515. Turnover at 40.3% is a little better than the national 45.8%, but that's the one number here working in its favor.

Eastside Health and Rehabilitation Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.09 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below what the building manages on weekdays. That's a real gap for a 92-bed for-profit, and it shows up in a federal staffing rating of 1 out of 5. The inspection history is mixed: a recent visit in June 2025 and a 4-star inspection rating, but 14 deficiencies on record, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Quality measures sit at 2 stars. Ownership is corporate, for-profit.

Hillview Senior Living & Rehab runs about 2.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday coverage, that thin margin is where the staffing picture gets its lowest marks. The good news sits on the inspection side: six deficiencies on record, none causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey completed in June 2025, so the home's last look from regulators is recent and clean. What pulls the overall picture down is the split between how the place is run and how residents are actually doing, state inspectors found little to fault, but the clinical quality measures and the day-to-day staffing numbers tell a quieter story worth asking about directly.

Arcadia Care Rock Island runs 177 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average, but weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, a gap families often feel when they visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $105,810. Turnover at 46.4% is essentially the national rate. The most recent inspection was August 2024. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating alongside a 4-out-of-5 quality measure score suggests the clinical measures look better on paper than the day-to-day oversight does.

Shawnee Senior Living runs 159 certified beds in Herrin under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends running about 18% below its own weekday level. Turnover of 44.7% sits close to the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here, it's the thin daily coverage combined with a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 and 52 deficiencies on the current record, 12 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 10 abuse-related. Two fines totaling $313,508 are on file, and the most recent inspection was June 12, 2025.

Abbington Vlge runs about 2.96 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 20% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 58.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses your family member sees are changing often. The home carries 37 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a 3/5 inspection rating and 2/5 ratings for both quality measures and staffing. Owned by a for-profit corporation and last inspected in April 2026, it clears the safety bar but runs lean on people. Ask how they cover a weekend callout.

Loft Rehab & Nursing Of Normal carries 83 deficiencies on its current record, and 14 of those reached the harm or jeopardy level. Seven are abuse-related, which is the category families tend to care about most. The home is licensed for 116 beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its last inspection was in October 2024. Nurse staffing sits at 3.07 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 56.3%, well above the 45.8% norm. Five fines totaling $406,595 round out the record. Compare that against the quality measure rating of 5, a number that looks better than the inspection and staffing picture around it.

The Citadel of Bourbonnais runs a 107-bed for-profit operation where the staffing numbers are the real story. At 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends dip another 13% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.1% is well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care are cycling through faster than average. Inspectors last visited in September 2024 and turned up 21 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. The 4/5 inspection rating and 2/5 quality measures don't offset a 1/5 staffing score.

You're looking at a 120-bed for-profit home in Cook County where the nursing hours don't stretch far. At 2.93 per resident day, staffing sits roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, that's when families tend to visit, so it's worth asking who's actually on the floor then. The inspection record is the harder part: 36 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $53,141. Turnover at 38.2% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which helps some, but the state came in as recently as July 2025. Go see it, and ask specifically about those abuse-related findings.

Hallmark Healthcare of Pekin runs 71 beds and staffs nurses at 3.03 hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 11 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover hits 56.7 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for your relative keep changing. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way and six tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $49,745. The most recent inspection was October 2024. Corporate-owned and for-profit, this home's quality scores look better on paper than its staffing and inspection history support.

Meadowbrook Manor runs 298 beds in Bolingbrook, and the numbers show a building stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 52.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people at the bedside keep changing. The inspection record is where it gets serious: 53 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse. Three fines total $169,675, and the last inspection was July 31, 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership, and CMS rated staffing and health inspections both 2 out of 5.

Fireside House runs lean on nursing hours, 3.50 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters most when families visit Saturday and Sunday and find fewer hands on deck. Staff turnover sits at 43.1%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record is where this home gets exposed: 18 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $71,979. The last state visit was December 2024. A for-profit LLC, 98 beds.

Alta Rehab at Fairmont runs 186 beds on Chicago's West Side, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday levels. The bigger problem is its record: 71 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $98,784. Staff turnover of 46.5% is essentially the national rate, so continuity isn't a strength either. Ownership is corporate for-profit, and its last inspection was September 2025. That volume and severity of findings, paired with a 2/5 staffing and inspection rating, is what drives the low grade.

Warren Barr Lincoln Park runs about 109 beds on the city's North Side, and the numbers that stand out are the staffing ones. Nurses give residents roughly 3.31 hours of care per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run thinner than weekdays by about 7%, that's when families often notice less help on the floor. Staff turnover sits at 51.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative may be new fairly often. The current inspection record carries 36 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 3 tied to abuse, along with a $117,488 fine. The most recent inspection was in November 2025, so the picture is current.

Tri-State Village runs lean on nursing hours, 3.29 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so care gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Its inspection record is heavier than you'd want: 56 deficiencies, 12 of them at the level where harm or jeopardy to residents is possible, three tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $279,810. The one genuine bright spot is turnover at 25.8%, well under the national 45.8%, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 84-bed home, last inspected April 30, 2025.

Nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 3 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover hits 54.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, 10 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 abuse-related, with four fines totaling $354,885.
