Heritage Health-Hoopeston runs on about 2.97 nursing hours per resident per day, which is roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday level. That thinner coverage matters because the current record shows 32 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse. Staff turnover is 29.5%, notably better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay seem to be staying, but the health inspection rating sits at 3 out of 5 and the quality measures at 2, with the last inspection dated June 5, 2024.
H & J Vonderlieth runs lean on nurse hours, 3.45 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is 36.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses here tend to stay longer than at many homes. The inspection record is genuinely strong: six deficiencies, none at the harm level, with one abuse-related citation and a December 2025 survey. Quality measure scores sit at 2 out of 5, so ask which measures dragged that down before you decide.
Manor Court of Peoria runs a nonprofit operation with 50 beds, and the daily nurse staffing of 4.65 hours per resident sits about 20 percent above the national average. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip roughly 11 percent below weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The concerning part is the inspection record: 43 deficiencies, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $140,847 fine and 60.7 percent annual turnover that runs well past the 45.8 percent national figure. Staffing helps, but frequent turnover can undercut consistent care, and that recent May 2024 inspection with those harm-level findings is what a family should ask about directly.
Parkway Manor runs 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing. The bigger concern is turnover: 51% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning half the nursing staff leaves each year. On inspections, the home has 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, though the last inspection was recent (April 2025) and the health inspection rating is 4 out of 5. Ownership is nonprofit corporate. The mix, solid inspection score but persistent turnover and weekend staffing dips, is what pulls this into average territory.
Golden Good Shepherd Home runs about 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating and in a record of 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. The one clear bright spot is turnover: 36.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay. With 46 beds and nonprofit ownership, it's a small, stable workforce stretched too thin, the kind of place where you'd want to ask exactly who's on the floor on a Saturday night.
Fairhaven Christian Ret Center runs 5.13 nurse hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips roughly 12% below its own weekday level. That kind of ratio usually reads as a green flag. What undercuts it is turnover: 94.7% of staff leave each year, more than double the national rate, which means the hours are there on paper but often delivered by people still learning the building. On inspections, 21 deficiencies, six serious enough to cause harm, and one $120,225 fine. The most recent survey was February 2026, so the record is current. The staffing hours are real; the consistency behind them is the question.
Norwood Crossing is a nonprofit home of 131 beds on Chicago's North Side, and its nurse staffing runs about 8% above the national average, enough for four stars on that measure. Weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage, though, and annual turnover sits at 56.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 34 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and $63,348 in fines across three events. The most recent inspection was in July 2025, so the record is current. Solid staffing numbers, a troubled inspection history, both are true here.
Manor Court of Freeport is a 117-bed nonprofit home, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. That headline number hides a drop on weekends, when coverage runs about 12% below its own weekday level, and turnover, while better than the 45.8% national figure at 33.9%, still means roughly a third of staff leave each year.
The inspection record is where the trouble concentrates: 50 deficiencies on file, 10 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 2 tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $124,105. State surveyors were last in on November 25, 2025, so that record is current.
Jennings Terrace runs on 2.95 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5. Turnover is 40.5%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The inspection record is the brighter side: 22 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a 4-out-of-5 inspection rating from a visit in November 2024. Quality measures come in at 2 out of 5. It's a nonprofit corporation with 60 beds. Families should ask who covers weekends and how quickly call lights get answered.
Pekin Manor runs a nonprofit operation with 130 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.23 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average. That's a real strength, though weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekday levels, and annual turnover of 51.6% tops the national figure of 45.8%, so the faces around residents change more than you'd like. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, with a $9,110 fine on file. The most recent state visit was September 2024. Quality and staffing measures both land at 2 out of 5 stars despite the decent hours per resident.
Winning Wheels runs 88 certified beds in Prophetstown under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.78 nurse hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, with weekends running about 6% thinner than weekdays. That leaner weekend coverage matters because turnover sits at 50.6%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing.
The inspection record is the heavier concern, 54 deficiencies on file, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse. A single fine of $12,258 and a July 2025 inspection round out the picture. Ask about weekend coverage, staff retention, and how those abuse-related findings were resolved.
Seminary Manor runs about 4.25 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 10% above the national average, and its 42.4% turnover is slightly better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. That staffing picture is the strongest part of the story here. The inspection record is the problem: 23 deficiencies, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus one $41,300 fine, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025. Weekend staffing also drops about 11% below weekday levels, which matters for families who visit or need help on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a nonprofit corporation with 121 certified beds.
Centralia Manor runs a nonprofit home with 120 beds, and its staffing is genuinely above average, 4.48 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekdays, though turnover at 26.4% beats the national 45.8%, meaning aides tend to stick around.
The trouble sits on the inspection side. Thirty deficiencies on the current record, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, four tied to abuse. Five fines totaling $231,200. The last inspection was July 2025, and the health inspection rating came back 1 out of 5. Good staffing and low turnover are real strengths, but the enforcement history is what a family should weigh hardest here.
Jerseyville Manor runs 155 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its aides and nurses put in 3.36 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekday pace. Staff turnover is genuinely low at 30.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay. The trouble sits in the inspection record: six deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and the most recent state visit came January 23, 2026.
Montgomery Place sits in Chicago with 40 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, and its nurse staffing comes in at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 3% below its own weekday level, so the difference between a Tuesday and a Sunday is real. The inspection record is the harder part: 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $19,752. That health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5, though quality measures score 5 and staffing scores 4, a split worth asking about directly when you tour.
St Patrick's Residence runs on a genuinely strong staffing model, 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and its 28.9% turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. But the inspection record is the problem: 26 deficiencies on file, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That's a lot of serious findings for one building, and the most recent inspection was January 2025.
The quality measure rating sits at 3 out of 5, and weekend staffing drops about 8% below weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even. A 209-bed nonprofit with stable staff but a troubled survey history is worth a close look at the actual deficiency reports before you decide.
Smith Village is a nonprofit home on Chicago's South Side with 93 certified beds, and its staffing is genuinely heavy, 5.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 36% above the national average, though weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. The trouble sits elsewhere: 23 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, plus a $16,350 fine and a November 2025 inspection that landed at two stars for health inspections and two for quality measures. Staff turnover of 57.3% is well above the national 45.8%. Generous staffing only helps if the same caregivers stay long enough to know the residents.
Resthave Home in Morrison runs a nonprofit shop with 70 beds, and its staff retention is genuinely better than most, 34.7% turnover against a national average near 46%. That stability matters, but it doesn't cancel out what inspections found: 33 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. State surveyors rated the health inspection side 2 out of 5.
Manor Court of Maryville is a nonprofit home with 132 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86. That sounds good until you notice weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays, and turnover lands at 46.5%, basically matching the national rate of 45.8%.
The inspection record is where things get more mixed. Eighteen deficiencies are on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. A 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a recent November 2024 survey help offset that, but the 2-out-of-5 quality measure rating drags the other direction.
Miller Health Care Center runs 160 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 12% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover lands at 42%, actually below the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the main problem here. The inspection record is: 33 deficiencies, 5 of them at harm or jeopardy level, and $189,285 in fines from two events, with the most recent inspection in July 2024. CMS gives 2 of 5 stars for both health inspections and quality measures, 3 for staffing. Nothing abuse-related appears on the record. The pattern is a home that keeps its people but gets cited often, and sometimes seriously, for how it delivers care.
