Paul House & Health Cr Ctr

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
64%
Serious cites
0

Paul House & Health Cr Ctr runs 110 certified beds on Chicago's Near West Side, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. Nurses provide 3.77 hours per resident day, slightly under the 3.86 national average, but weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 64.2% against a 45.8% national figure, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. Add 59 deficiencies on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $107,115 in fines, and the recent June 2025 inspection reads less like a fresh start than a long-running pattern.

Sunrise Skilled Nur & Rehab runs about 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekday level.

The current record carries 24 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $256,825. It's a for-profit limited liability company, last inspected July 2024. The low staffing rating reflects what that turnover and thin coverage actually mean day to day.

Barry Healthcare & Sr Living runs 76 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers worth knowing are the staffing and inspection ones. Nurses provide 3.14 hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 8% below what the home manages on weekdays. Turnover sits at 45.8%, right at the national figure. The current record carries 21 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $71,275. Its last inspection was January 16, 2026. CMS rates quality measures and staffing at one star each, with three stars for health inspections.

Nurse staffing at Arc at Bradley runs 2.74 hours per resident day, roughly 29 percent under the national average of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends. That shortage shows up in the numbers that matter: 38 deficiencies on the current record, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one tied to abuse, and $24,622 in fines across two cases. Staff turnover sits at 60.3 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, so the people providing care keep changing. The last inspection was in May 2024, and the 1-out-of-5 staffing rating alongside a 2-out-of-5 quality rating tells you where the trouble concentrates.

Allure of Knox County reports 4.19 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, which is genuinely above the national average of 3.86, that's the one number here that looks decent. Everything else points the other way. Staff turnover runs 73.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year, and weekend coverage dips below its own weekday level. The inspection record carries 41 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and six abuse-related, with $88,229 in fines and a December 2024 inspection. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Ask about turnover and the abuse findings directly before deciding.

Arcadia Care Auburn runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 2.77 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below what it manages during the week. Annual turnover sits at 54.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care are cycling through faster than usual. The inspection record backs up the concern: 33 deficiencies, eight of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $273,034. Its most recent inspection was in February 2025. A 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 1-out-of-5 quality measure rating, in a for-profit corporate home, tell you where the trouble concentrates.

The Citadel at Saint Anne Place carries 43 deficiencies on its current record, nine of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, and $144,440 in federal fines across five citations. That's a heavy enforcement history for a 179-bed nonprofit home, and it's recent, state inspectors were last on site in June 2025. Staffing sits at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 62.2% means most of the people caring for your relative are new, versus 45.8% nationally. Ask the administrator directly how nine harm-level findings were corrected and what weekend coverage looks like now.

Warren Barr South Loop runs 210 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, with weekends running about 3% thinner than its own weekdays. That thinness shows up in turnover: 61.5% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record carries 65 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $240,888. Its last inspection was February 2025, so the record is current, and federal ratings put staffing at 1 out of 5. If you're considering this building, ask specifically who is on the floor on weekends and how they're fixing that turnover.

Aliya Of Crestwood runs about 2.99 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips another 6% below its own weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 65.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. Its current record carries 41 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $80,372; the last inspection was February 2025. The 3-star inspection and quality ratings look passable on their own, but the staffing number is where this one falls apart.

Bethany Rehab & Hcc runs 90 certified beds in DeKalb, and the numbers behind its recent inspections are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, below the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping about 12% from its own weekday level. Staff turnover is the harder figure, 72.2% annually, well above the national rate, which means the people caring for residents change often. The inspection record shows 68 deficiencies, 13 of them at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with six fines totaling $365,933. Its last inspection was July 2024. Ask direct questions about consistent weekend coverage and how the home has responded to those findings.

Sharon Health Care Elms runs 96 beds in Peoria under corporate ownership, and the numbers behind its federal record aren't kind. Nurse staffing sits at 3.52 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, about 12% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 46.2%, essentially matching the national rate, so continuity isn't the outlier here; the shortfall is hours of care. The inspection history is the heavier problem: 44 deficiencies on the current record, 7 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with four fines totaling $185,971. CMS scored the home 2 out of 5 on health inspections and 1 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing, with the most recent inspection in October 2024.

The Haven of Farmer City runs on 2.64 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the record: 55 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a $122,236 fine. Staff turnover sits at 47.6%, slightly above the national figure, so the people providing that care keep changing. Federal ratings give this home 1 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing, 2 out of 5 on health inspections, and its most recent inspection was March 2026. Corporate-owned, 56 beds. If you're considering it, ask directly how many nurses are on the floor on a Saturday.

Washington Senior Living runs 122 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 67.5% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people providing care keep changing. The inspection record backs that up: 64 deficiencies, 18 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus a $230,097 fine. The most recent inspection was December 2024.

Evercare Of Breese runs 112 certified beds under a for-profit LLC, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 2.70 total nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 30% below. Weekend coverage drops about another 10% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts get thinner. The inspection record carries 13 deficiencies, 5 of them at harm or jeopardy level, with 5 fines totaling $177,557. Quality measures scored 1 out of 5 stars. The last inspection was January 31, 2025, so the record is recent, not stale. Five harm-level findings and a staffing shortfall that size are the two facts worth weighing hardest.

Center Home Hispanic Elderly in Chicago carries 77 deficiencies on its current record, 13 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and seven tied to abuse. That's not a paperwork problem. On the staffing side, nurses provide 2.86 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 17 percent thinner than weekdays, so coverage gaps widen exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 45.8 percent, matching the national rate, which means the churn here isn't unusual, but it compounds thin hours. Eight fines totaling $428,860 and a January 2026 inspection round out a record where the pattern is consistent across every measure.

Staff turnover hits 67% against a national average near 46%, while the current inspection record carries 57 deficiencies, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $308,189. CMS rates the home 1 star on staffing and 2 stars each on health inspections and quality measures, with the most recent inspection dated December 2024. If you're weighing this one, that combination, thin staffing, high turnover, repeat serious deficiencies, deserves hard questions before a move-in.

St. Paul's Senior Community runs about 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and in turnover: 60.8% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is heavier still, 39 deficiencies, 10 of them at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $227,658. Ownership is for-profit through a limited liability company. The last inspection was in January 2025, so the record is current, not stale.

The Haven of Ridgeview runs on 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a tenth under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 57.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people around your relative keep changing. The record shows 39 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, with $84,882 in fines across three penalties and a state inspection in August 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company, and the low quality-measure score suggests the day-to-day care isn't tracking well either.
