Moweaqua Rehab & Hcc carries 76 deficiencies on its current record, and 8 of those rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, 4 tied to abuse. That's a lot of serious findings for a 70-bed home, and it's why the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 stars. The single fine on file runs $146,900, which tells you regulators treated at least one problem as significant. Staffing is also rated 1 star, so the people caring for residents are stretched thin relative to what CMS expects. Quality measures land at 3 stars, but that's the one bright spot in an otherwise rough picture. The last inspection was November 2024, so this record is recent, not stale.
St. Clara's runs leaner than most homes on the floor: 2.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends dip further below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage is the core issue behind its low staffing rating, and it's worth asking how the home handles a Saturday night. Turnover is better than average at 34.6%, and there are no abuse deficiencies, which matters. But 19 deficiencies with two at harm level, two fines totaling nearly $71,000, and a February 2025 inspection point to real compliance problems. The nonprofit owner doesn't change what the numbers show.
Country Health runs lean on nurses: 3.08 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday pace. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record, 53 deficiencies, eight serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 13 tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 53.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing daily care keep changing. This nonprofit campus in Gifford has been fined twice, totaling $150,053, and its last inspection was September 24, 2025. The quality measure score of 3 out of 5 is the strongest part of the file; staffing and health inspection scores both land at 2.
Sunset Home runs about 3.05 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage dips a bit further below its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the inspection record: 62 deficiencies, 11 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, 8 tied to abuse, and four fines totaling nearly a quarter-million dollars. Staff turnover sits at 49.1%, slightly worse than the national rate, so the people providing care keep changing. The last inspection was in October 2024, and the federal ratings land at one star for health inspections and two each for quality measures and staffing.
Manor Court of Carbondale runs a nonprofit operation with 120 certified beds, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.42 hours per resident day, which is roughly 14 percent above the national average. That's a real strength on paper, though weekend coverage drops about 15 percent below the home's own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 52.1 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning the people delivering that care are cycling out faster than is typical elsewhere. The inspection record is where things get harder to explain: 38 deficiencies currently on file, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $126,274. The most recent inspection was June 2025.
Villa Health Care East runs 109 beds in Sherman under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average on paper. The problem is consistency: weekends run roughly 12 percent thinner than weekdays, and 63.6 percent of staff turned over in a year against a national rate near 46 percent, so the people giving care keep changing. Inspectors cited 19 deficiencies on the current record, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with $90,998 in fines and a two-star health inspection rating. Its last inspection was August 2024. Quality measures scored one star, the lowest tier.
Mason City Area Nursing Home runs on 3.18 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% under the national average, with weekends about 9% thinner than its own weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 47.7%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus a $157,310 fine, all on a nonprofit's watch. CMS rates staffing and quality measures 1 out of 5 stars each, with inspections at 3. The most recent survey was December 4, 2024. Families weighing this home should ask how weekend coverage and recent turnover affect daily care.
Shelbyville Manor runs a nonprofit operation with 109 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.28 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here. The rest is harder to swallow: weekend staffing drops roughly 8% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 60% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing that care are cycling through fast.
The inspection record is the real concern. Forty-three deficiencies are on file, six of them at the harm or jeopardy level and six abuse-related, with two fines totaling $77,985 and a May 2025 inspection that rated 2 out of 5 stars. Quality measures came in at 1 out of 5.
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.
The Odd Fellow-Rebekah Home runs about 3.64 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits alongside a 50.4% annual turnover rate, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Its current record carries 61 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $244,338. The most recent inspection was November 21, 2025, so the picture is current, not stale, a nonprofit home where the numbers say watch closely before deciding.
Pittsfield Manor runs on a corporate for-profit model, and the numbers show where that pressure lands. Nurse staffing sits at 3.84 hours per resident day, technically just under the national average, but weekends drop about 7% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 63.7% against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the headline staffing figure suggests.
The inspection record is the harder problem: 41 deficiencies, including five at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. Four fines total $212,564, and the most recent inspection was December 2024. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, land at one or two out of five.
Mattoon Rehab & Hcc runs 148 certified beds as a nonprofit, but the numbers behind its record are rough. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 59.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team left within a year. The current inspection record carries 67 deficiencies, including 8 at harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $175,366. Its last inspection was September 17, 2025. A nonprofit label doesn't guarantee better care here.
Nurse staffing at Arc at Sangamon Valley runs about 25% under the national average, 2.91 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below what the home itself provides on weekdays. When aides and nurses leave at a 72.6% annual rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, that thin coverage gets harder to hold steady. The inspection record carries 82 deficiencies, 14 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 13 tied to abuse; federal fines total $583,051 across five penalties, and the most recent inspection was September 2024. Nonprofit ownership hasn't translated into stronger numbers here.
