Staff turnover
53%

Warren Barr Oak Lawn runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, 3.52 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends dip further below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 52.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well anyone knows your mother's routines. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse, and the most recent visit was January 31, 2025, so the picture is current. The 4-star health inspection rating is genuinely good; the 2-star staffing rating is the counterweight, and it's the number I'd ask about directly.

Elevate Care Waukegan runs 265 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 2.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 15% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record, 62 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $65,554, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. The one bright spot is turnover at 24.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure. Still, staffing and inspection ratings both sit at two out of five stars.

Aperion Care Elgin runs about 2.7 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 29% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops further below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 49.1%, above the national figure. The health inspection history shows 35 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with $56,661 in fines across three cases; the most recent inspection was in April 2025. Resident outcome measures score well, but those numbers depend on the staffing underneath them. With 101 beds under individual for-profit ownership, the staffing shortfall is the concern a family should weigh first.

Allure Of Mt Carroll runs 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, about five percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly nine percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 37.5 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The trouble is the record: 12 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Federal inspectors gave it five stars for health inspections but only one for staffing. A corporation owns the 72-bed home. Strong inspection history, thin staffing, and a serious deficiency on the books is a mixed picture worth weighing carefully.

Integrity Hc of Cobden runs 2.46 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 36% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about another 10% below its own weekday levels. The place is clean on inspections, three deficiencies on record, none causing harm, none abuse-related, with a 5/5 health inspection rating and a recent September 2025 survey, but the staffing rating sits at 2/5, and 38% annual turnover means aides cycle through faster than they'd like. A for-profit corporation owns its 74 beds. Families weighing this one should ask how the low hours actually play out on evenings and weekends, since quality measures land mid-range at 3/5.

Accolade Healthcare of Pontiac runs 97 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover at 44.4% is basically average, which cuts against the idea that this is some unusually unstable building. The inspection record is where it gets harder to shrug off: 26 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. A June 2025 inspection is recent enough to be meaningful. Ask directly what those abuse deficiencies involved before you decide.

Hawthorne Inn Of Danville runs 80 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover is 43%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents. The current record carries 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, and the last inspection was May 2025. CMS gave it 4 stars for health inspections but only 2 for quality measures, so the regulatory picture looks steadier than the clinical one.

Pearl of Naperville runs 115 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the clearest trouble spot: 3.36 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 17% below its own weekday coverage. That thinner weekend floor matters when you consider the inspection history, 42 deficiencies on the current record, including three tied to abuse and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, even though the last inspection came fairly recently in December 2025. Staff turnover sits at 48.7%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people providing that already-light care are cycling out steadily.

Farmington Village runs a bit leaner than most homes, at 3.63 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, which is when families tend to notice. Turnover sits at 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. Inspections look solid on paper: a 4/5 health inspection rating, no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and the most recent visit was May 2025. The catch is the 15 deficiencies and one $73,577 fine on the current record, which is a lot of paperwork for a home this size.

Springfield Suites Rehab And Nursing runs 4.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average, which sounds like a lot until you see that weekends drop about 19% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 57.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are cycling through fast. The current record carries 28 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, and the last inspection was in December 2025. Ownership is a for-profit LLC. High raw staffing numbers can mask a thin, constantly changing crew, here the schedule gap and turnover suggest that's exactly what's happening.

Citadel Care Center-Kankakee runs 107 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 33.7%, which is better than the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in November 2024. Federal ratings split sharply here: four stars for health inspections, two for quality measures and two for staffing.

Pavilion of Bridgeview runs 146 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover lands at 46.3%, right around the national figure. Inspections in December 2025 turned up 30 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. Quality and health inspection ratings both sit mid-range at three stars; staffing comes in at two. For a family weighing this one, the recent inspection and that harm-level finding are the things worth asking about directly.

Paxton's Accolade Senior Living runs 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing. The CMS staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, which tracks with those numbers, while annual turnover of 48.4% edges past the national rate of 45.8%. Inspections tell a different story: a 5-star health inspection rating with a February 2025 visit on record, though 16 deficiencies include one at the harm level. That split, strong survey results against thin daily staffing, is the tension worth weighing as you decide.

Citadel of Skokie runs lean on nursing hours, 2.73 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits alongside 19 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. The ownership is a for-profit corporation, and the fines add up to $27,891 across three penalties. One thing runs in the home's favor: staff turnover of 28.6% beats the national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay. But stable staff can only stretch so far when there are too few of them, and the harm-level findings suggest the margin for error has already been crossed.

Clark Manor runs on 2.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends dip another 6% under its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The 267-bed for-profit home does hold onto staff unusually well, with turnover at 14.8% against a national 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record is harder to overlook: 34 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. Its last full inspection was May 2024, and quality measures sit at 2 of 5 stars.

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.

Warren Barr Lieberman runs 240 beds in Skokie under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out first. At 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage slips a bit further below its own weekday level. Turnover lands at 44.4 percent, close to the national 45.8 percent. Inspections look solid, a recent May 2025 survey, 20 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The tension is what those inspections didn't catch versus what daily staffing shows: quality measures and staffing both rate two stars, so the care hours and clinical outcomes tell a less steady story than the inspection sheet alone.

Alden North Shore runs 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 43.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but the current record carries 10 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $107,443. Inspections are recent, June 2025, and the health and quality measure ratings each come in at 4 of 5. The staffing rating is 2 of 5, which is where the tension sits: decent clinical scores on paper, thin coverage on the floor, and a citation history a family should read closely before deciding.

Annual turnover hits 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The inspection record carries 42 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $62,153; the most recent inspection was August 2024. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results are where the real story sits.

Alden Des Plaines runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its 41% turnover is lower than the typical 45.8%. The staffing star rating still lands at 2 out of 5 because weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below weekday levels, and that gap matters when families visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspections look solid on the surface, with 4/5 stars and a visit as recent as July 2025, but the record carries 18 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $28,893. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.
