Prairieview Lutheran Home runs on a non-profit model with 90 certified beds in Danforth, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star and turnover at 34.5% against a national 45.8%. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about. The trouble sits in inspections. A 2/5 health inspection star, 28 total deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and four fines totaling $89,042, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. Good staffing doesn't erase a record like that, and it's the inspection history that drags this home down.

Eden Village Care Center runs on a nonprofit model in Glen Carbon with 107 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86. That's the kind of margin that shows up in daily care, though weekend coverage drops about 19% below its own weekday level, so families should ask how that gap gets managed. Staff turnover sits at 42.5%, a little better than the 45.8% national figure. Ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in February 2025.

Beacon Hill runs 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86, and that shows in its staffing rating. The catch is weekends: coverage drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so care thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 41.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning two in five caregivers left within the year. Inspections in July 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with two fines totaling $30,186. No abuse citations, and this nonprofit's quality measures hold at 4 out of 5.

Lutheran Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 96 certified beds in Altamont, and its staff retention is the standout number: 20.5% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning caregivers tend to stay. That stability shows in the staffing star rating, which is perfect, even though the raw hours, 3.51 per resident day, sit about 9% under the national figure, and weekends run thinner than weekdays by roughly a tenth. The caution side is the inspection record: 11 deficiencies, three serious enough to count as harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $19,208. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current.

Fayette County Hospital runs 4.88 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 26% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 9% below its weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the national 45.8%, and the home holds five stars for both staffing and health inspections, with its most recent inspection dated January 16, 2026. The weaker spot is quality measures, rated one star, and seven deficiencies remain on record, one at the harm level, along with a single $18,233 fine. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation. Strong hands-on care and steady retention, but the clinical outcomes those hours produce don't track with the staffing numbers.

Valley Hi is county-run, and the staffing shows it: 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, earning a top staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, though, and turnover sits at 33.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still a third of the workforce leaving each year. The inspection record is where it gets heavier: 30 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $155,366. A recent March 2026 inspection means the picture is current. Strong hands on deck, but a documented history that needs watching.

Knox County Nursing Home runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and seven total deficiencies on the current record, none of them causing harm or involving abuse. That's a clean record for a 169-bed county-owned home, and its last full inspection was recent, in August 2024. Staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, with weekends about 4% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The number that stands out is turnover: 34% against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay longer than they do at most homes.

Lutheran Hillside Village in Peoria runs on a nonprofit model with 107 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, though, so care isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover sits at 40.2%, lower than the 45.8% national rate, which matters for continuity. On inspections, the home holds a 5/5 rating with its last visit in December 2024, and while 13 deficiencies appear on the current record, none reached harm or jeopardy level, just one is abuse-related.

East Bank Center runs a 54-bed for-profit home in Loves Park, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 5.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 46% above the national average. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday level, so the floor isn't perfectly even. Turnover sits at 62.7% against a national 45.8%, which means many of the people providing that care are still new to the building. Inspections in July 2025 turned up 24 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse. Consistent staffing and solid quality marks are doing a lot of work here; the churn and that one high-level citation are the tradeoffs.

The Willows Health Center runs 50 certified beds in Rockford under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits well above average, 5.21 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 35% more than the national figure. That's the strongest card in its hand, though weekend coverage drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so the weekday-to-weekend difference is worth asking about. The trade-off shows up in its record: 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus three tied to abuse, and one fine of $12,909. With the last inspection dated November 2025 and quality and staffing each rated 4 out of 5, you're looking at a home that invests in staff but has real compliance problems to weigh.

Radford Green runs on 5.41 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 40% above the national average, and weekend staffing holds within about 6% of weekday levels, rare for a for-profit home. Annual turnover sits at 35.7%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people around your parent are more likely to stay. The caution is on the record: 25 deficiencies, 6 serious enough to risk harm, one tied to abuse, and $68,794 in fines, with the last inspection in February 2025. Strong staffing and quality measures, a thinner inspection history. Worth asking the administrator directly what changed since.

Alden Estates Of Shorewood runs about 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average. That staffing cushion is real, though weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover sits at 38.3%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. This is a for-profit corporate home whose numbers hold up on staffing and inspections, with quality measures landing closer to the middle.

Pearl Of Crystal Lake runs a tight ship on nurse retention: 35.1% turnover beats the national 45.8% by a wide margin, and inspections in March 2025 turned up zero deficiencies at the harm level. The tradeoff shows up in raw hours. At 3.79 nurse staffing hours per resident day, it sits slightly under the national 3.86, and weekends run about 18% thinner than weekdays, a drop families feel when aides are stretched. Thirty-two deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, and corporate for-profit ownership round out the picture. Strong quality marks and few serious problems, but ask about weekend coverage before you commit.

Brandel Health And Rehab runs on 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 6% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Annual turnover of 22.7% is about half the national rate, which matters for whether the aides and nurses caring for your family member stick around. Inspections are recent and the health inspection rating is strong, but the record still carries three deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, and the quality measure rating sits at 2 out of 5. That split, solid staffing and inspection results against weaker clinical quality measures, is what pulls the grade to a B.

Alta Rehab At Wauconda runs 149 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly 10% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Turnover is the genuine bright spot: 28.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections tell a more mixed story. The most recent was August 2024, and the record carries 28 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. One fine totaling $7,443 has been issued. Quality measures score well; staffing is middling.

Citadel Care Center-Wilmette runs 80 beds in Cook County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is strong: four deficiencies on file, none involving harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, and a recent survey in April 2026. Quality measures also score at the top of CMS's scale. The staffing picture is more mixed. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover of 26.8% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a relatively stable crew despite the leaner hours.

Ascension Resurrection Life runs 162 certified beds on Chicago's northwest side, and its nurse staffing sits well above average, roughly 4.78 hours per resident day against a national figure near 3.86. That cushion matters, though weekends run about 11 percent lighter than weekdays, and staff turnover is 53.6 percent, noticeably worse than the 45.8 percent national rate. The inspection record is the harder reading. The home carries 45 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse. A January 2026 inspection is recent, so the picture is current rather than stale. Strong hours on paper, but turnover and a heavy citation history are the parts worth asking about directly.

Ignite Medical Hanover Park runs 150 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers here tell a mixed story worth sorting through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. What offsets that is consistency: 28% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses here stick around longer than most, which matters for residents who need familiar faces. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in March 2026.

Luther Oaks sits in Bloomington with just 19 certified beds, so it's a small operation, and small homes can go either way. The staffing number looks solid at 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, though weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The bigger issue is turnover: 61.5% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning a lot of caregivers are cycling through. Inspections in August 2024 turned up 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. Good quality measure scores, but the inspection record and churn are worth asking about directly.

Hitz Memorial Home runs 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 41.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit corporation that owns it has kept its last inspection recent, March 2026. What pulls the record down is the deficiency history: 17 citations currently on file, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, plus one fine of $75,965. CMS gives it 4 stars each for staffing and quality measures, 3 for health inspections. Read those abuse-related citations closely before you decide.
