Nurse hours

Staff turnover
62%
Serious cites
0

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.

0

Greek American Rehab Care Ctr runs 188 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation in Wheeling, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story, a four-star health inspection rating, with the most recent survey completed January 16, 2026, so there's no stale-data problem here. The ten deficiencies on record include two at the harm or jeopardy level, but none tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the national 3.86 average, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays. The real bright spot is turnover: 28.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses are staying put, which matters more for daily care than a tenth of an hour on paper.

St. Joseph Village has a real staffing story to tell, 4.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and CMS gives it 5 out of 5 stars for that. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 57.1% annual turnover runs well past the national 45.8%, and 19 deficiencies on record include 2 at the harm level, though none involve abuse. A June 2024 inspection and 4 inspection stars suggest the building is watched closely. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, 54 beds.

Graham Hospital runs a small 35-bed unit in Canton, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.45 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average. That's the main reason its staffing rating holds at 4 stars. The catch is turnover, 81.8% of staff leave each year, roughly double the national rate, which matters for whether that coverage stays consistent. Its inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent visit in April 2026. Quality measures score 4 stars, so day-to-day care indicators look decent. If you're weighing this one, ask how they hold staffing steady through that churn.

Franciscan Village runs on the nonprofit side of things in Lemont, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday may not match what you'd see on a Tuesday. The recurring problems show up in the inspection record: 29 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to cause actual harm, and two fines totaling $44,220. Staff turnover of 48.2% is slightly above the national rate, which usually means hiring and retraining costs that don't show up on a spreadsheet. Your best question for the administrator is how those three harm-level deficiencies were resolved, and what weekend coverage actually looks like.

Manor Court of Princeton runs on a nonprofit model with 125 certified beds, and its staffing sits just above the national average at 3.92 nurse hours per resident day. That margin is thin, though, and weekends drop roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 32.5%, which is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but two tied to abuse, and the most recent state visit was in April 2025.

Nazarethville Place runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 68 beds in Des Plaines, and its staffing sits about 5% above the national average at 4.07 nurse hours per resident day. Weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out when families visit. Staff turnover is 38.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. Inspections are the strong suit here, a 5/5 star rating with the most recent visit in September 2024, but five deficiencies remain on record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, and the quality measure score is just 2/5.

Fair Oaks runs a nonprofit home of 51 beds in Crystal Lake, and its strongest number is nurse staffing: 5.35 hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average. That's real coverage, though weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday level, so care thins out when families tend to visit. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 50.7%, above the 45.8% national average, and the record carries 29 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus $31,230 in fines. The last inspection was June 2024. Strong daily staffing, but a compliance history worth asking about directly.

The Iroquois Resident Home runs a nonprofit operation with 35 certified beds in Watseka, and its health inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a recent June 2024 survey and 26 deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Staffing is where the story splits: total nurse hours come in at 4.03 per resident day, slightly above the national average, but weekends run about 11% leaner than weekdays, and the federal staffing rating sits at just 2 out of 5 stars. For a small home, that weekend dip is the number I'd press on, ask who's actually on the floor on a Sunday.

Celebrate Senior Living Niles runs 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86, and its 38.6% turnover sits below the national 45.8%, staff tend to stay longer here than at the typical home. Weekend coverage dips about 9% under weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The record isn't spotless: six deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $29,754, though none tied to abuse. A 4/5 inspection rating from the most recent survey in October 2024 suggests the problems were addressed rather than ongoing.

Lutheran Home For The Aged runs 354 beds in Arlington Heights under nonprofit ownership, and its staff numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover, though, sits at 33.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where the concerns pile up: 37 deficiencies, 8 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 3 tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $144,945. The most recent inspection was January 22, 2026. Strong quality-measure scores don't erase that citation history, so ask direct questions about staffing on weekends and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.

Galena Stauss runs a tight ship on staffing: 4.04 nurse hours per resident day beats the national average, and the 33.3% turnover rate is well below the typical 45.8%. That stability shows in the CMS staffing rating, which comes in at the top mark. The health inspection side is solid too, with a 4 out of 5 and a recent survey from October 2024. Where the picture gets shakier is the quality measures, which sit at the bottom of the scale. And 27 deficiencies on record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, is worth asking about directly before you decide anything.

Smith Crossing has real nursing hours behind it, 5.43 per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average, and that's the strongest thing in its file. It's a nonprofit home in Orland Park with a 5-star federal staffing rating, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 54.1% against a national 45.8%, so the faces change often. The inspection record is where the picture darkens. Thirty-two deficiencies on the current record, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and two fines totaling $125,906. The last inspection was June 2025. Strong staffing, a 3-star inspection rating, and a 2-star quality measure score don't point the same direction, and families should ask which one reflects the days their relative will actually live there.

Michaelsen Health Center runs on a nonprofit model with 99 certified beds, and the staffing numbers back up its top CMS rating there, 4.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average. Turnover sits at 40.2%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 6% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The tension shows up elsewhere: a 4/5 inspection rating as of February 2026, but 21 deficiencies on record, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one $9,110 fine. A 2/5 quality measure score pulls against that strong staffing story, so ask how those measures are being managed.

Alton Memorial Rehab & Therapy sits at 64 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing runs about 18% above the national average at 4.57 hours per resident day. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level, and turnover lands at 50% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care change fairly often. The inspection record is where things get harder to square: 24 deficiencies currently on file, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $15,626. The most recent inspection closed in December 2025, so the picture is current.

The record shows 42 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with $87,819 in fines across three penalties. Turnover sits at 41.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was February 2025.

Friendship Manor runs a nonprofit home with 94 beds in Rock Island, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.91 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Weekends thin out about 16% below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Staff turnover is 37.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and inspections from July 2024 produced a four-star health inspection rating. What pulls the record down is the quality measure side, which scores 1 out of 5, plus 14 deficiencies on file, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, and a single $10,519 fine.

Manor Court of Peru runs about 3.53 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 34.3%, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, and that stability matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two fines totaling $39,245; the last inspection was in August 2025. A non-profit corporation owns the 130-bed home. The staffing numbers and that one high-level deficiency are the main things pulling the picture down.

Manor Court of Rochelle runs a nonprofit home with 92 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent above the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping only about 6 percent below weekdays. That consistency matters, because weekend shortfalls are where problems often hide. The trouble sits elsewhere. Staff turnover is 57.1 percent against a national average of 45.8, so the people delivering that above-average care are cycling out fast, and a one-star quality measure rating suggests the clinical outcomes aren't keeping pace with the hours worked. Thirty-two deficiencies are on the current record, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with one fine of $22,165 and an inspection dating to March 2025.
