How chain-owned homes in Illinois compare
This group set against every nursing home in Illinois, from the current CMS release.
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.
Pa Peterson At The Citadel runs about 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends dip another 6% below its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the staffing rating: 1 out of 5. Annual turnover sits at 59.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are changing often. The current record lists 63 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with one fine of $21,212. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection and 4/5 quality measure ratings suggest some clinical care is tracked well, but the staffing numbers and deficiency history are what a family should ask about directly.
Integrity Hc Of Carbondale is a for-profit LLC home with 131 beds, and the numbers here are hard to ignore. Fifty-two deficiencies sit on its current record, ten of them at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and eight tied to abuse. Three fines total $403,772, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. Staffing is the other red flag: the home earns one star there, well below average, even though its quality measure score looks strong at four stars. The last inspection was in February 2025. One star for health inspections, one for staffing, 52 deficiencies, that combination is what drives the grade down.
Midway Neurological in Bridgeview runs 404 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the hard part: 1.62 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 58% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 21% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 22.6%, which is actually low compared to the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't constant churn, it's how few hands are scheduled at once. The inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $55,162. Its last inspection was June 13, 2025. A for-profit corporation operates it.
Warren Barr Buffalo Grove runs 200 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 2% below the home's own weekday level, and the staffing star rating lands at 2 out of 5. Turnover is 40.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record carries 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. The last inspection was January 29, 2025, and fines total $9,311. Quality measures rate 4 out of 5, which may reflect clinical care, but the thin staffing and inspection history are what a family should weigh first.
Mount Sterling Health and Rehab runs on 2.86 nurse hours per resident per day, about a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star CMS staffing rating, and turnover of 54.2% means the aides and nurses who do show up are often new. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with $86,763 in fines and a February 2024 inspection date. The for-profit LLC ownership structure isn't unusual in Illinois, but combined with those numbers, staffing is the thing to ask hard questions about before moving anyone in.
Kensington Place runs on 2.19 nursing hours per resident per day, which is roughly 43 percent below the national average, and weekends are about a fifth thinner than weekdays. The staffing star rating reflects that. Turnover at 38.7 percent is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the problem isn't churn, it's raw hours on the floor. Inspectors last visited in May 2025 and logged 62 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and 16 tied to abuse. Ownership is a for-profit partnership. When you tour, ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor at 2 a.m. on a Saturday.
Aperion Care West Chicago runs 213 certified beds on 1.69 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 56% below the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are also the ones families tend to visit.
The inspection record shows 53 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level and 18 abuse-related, with four fines totaling $289,723. Retention is unusually steady at 20.3% turnover against a national 45.8%, which suggests the problem isn't churn but how few staff are scheduled per resident.
The most recent inspection closed January 31, 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. If you're weighing this one, ask how many nurses are actually on the floor on a Saturday.
Peterson Park runs about 11% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, and weekends dip slightly further below its own weekday levels, worth knowing if your visits tend to fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The 33 deficiencies on record include two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, which is a lot of inspection history to carry for a 196-bed for-profit home. Staff turnover sits at 37.1%, actually better than the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents aren't cycling out as fast as elsewhere. The tradeoff: consistent caregivers, but fewer of them per resident, and a recent November 2025 inspection that found real problems.
Park Ridge Healthcare Center runs 46 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.94 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, with weekends running about 13% thinner than weekdays. That said, the 14.3% annual turnover is remarkably low against a 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The trouble shows up in inspections: ten deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is where this home struggles.
Bria of Forest Edge is a 328-bed for-profit home on Chicago's far south side, and the numbers that stand out most aren't the ones on its marketing. Its 71 deficiencies include 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse, that's a pattern, not a one-off. Nurse staffing sits at 2.97 hours per resident day, well under the 3.86 national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level. The one bright spot is turnover: 36.1% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning workers stay longer than at a typical home. But with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and $407,863 in fines across three cases, that retention hasn't translated into safer care.
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.
If your family member needs nursing care in Streator, Parker Nursing & Rehab's staffing numbers are the first thing to sit with. Nurses give 3.01 hours per resident per day, about 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is heavier than most: 62 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, 13 abuse-related, and 16 fines totaling $169,423. Staff turnover of 35.3% is actually better than average, which tells you the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are on the floor.
Allure Of Moline runs 120 certified beds as a for-profit partnership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.26 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That shortfall shows up in the weekend figures too, where hours don't rise to offset anything. Annual turnover sits at 50%, above the national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are cycling through. The current inspection record carries 46 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 abuse-related, with one fine of $14,901. The most recent inspection was in May 2025. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, but staffing sits at 1 and health inspections at 2.
The Haven of Arcola runs lean on nurses: 2.37 hours per resident per day, roughly 39 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 12 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover of 38.6 percent is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but that's the one bright spot. The current record shows 49 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse. State inspectors last visited in September 2025; CMS rated staffing 1 out of 5 stars, with inspection and quality measures at 2 each. For-profit ownership under a limited liability company rounds out the picture.
Fargo Health Care Center runs lean on the floor: 2.83 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 42 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $245,827 and a survey as recent as August 2025. Staff turnover at 20.3% is genuinely better than the 45.8% national figure, and quality measures score well, but a for-profit LLC structure with that staffing and deficiency history makes the tradeoff clear.
Alden Courts of Waterford sits in Aurora with 60 certified beds, run by a for-profit corporation. Nurse staffing runs 3.92 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 46.7%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations, and a single fine of $21,645. Inspectors were last on site in August 2025. The health inspection rating is strong at 4 stars, but quality measures sit at 2, which is where the trouble shows.
All American Village runs 144 beds on Chicago's Far South Side as a for-profit LLC, and its last full health inspection was in April 2025. The record shows 34 deficiencies, including two at the level that caused actual harm or put residents in immediate jeopardy, plus six tied to abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 2.47 hours per resident day, roughly 36% under the national average, and weekends run about 21% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 25%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so aides tend to stay, there just aren't enough of them scheduled.
Three Crowns Park is a small nonprofit home in Evanston, just 34 certified beds, and it was inspected recently, in April 2025. The staffing number is the one that stands out: one star, well below what CMS expects, in a building where there's no corporate chain to blame and no obvious excuse for running thin. Its inspection record shows five deficiencies, three tied to abuse and two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy. A recent inspection with active harm-level findings isn't a stale problem. If you're considering this place, ask what changed after April and who's on the floor overnight.
Sheridan Village runs 191 beds on Chicago's South Side, and the staffing number is the one to sit with: 2.58 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly a third less hands-on care than typical, and weekends drop another 17% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover at 27.3% actually beats the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't churn, it's how few hours each resident gets. The inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus a $52,284 fine. The most recent inspection was May 2025.
