Our read on Claridge Healthcare Center
Claridge Healthcare Center is a 231-bed for-profit home in Lake Bluff, and its record with CMS is about as bad as it gets. Seventy deficiencies on the current inspection record, seven of them at the level where a resident was actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and twelve tied to abuse. Staffing sits at one out of five stars, well below what CMS expects for a building this size, and the quality measure score is barely better at two. Three fines totaling more than $241,000, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the designation reserved for the poorest performers in the country. The most recent inspection was June 6, 2024. When you tour, ask directly how they're addressing the abuse findings and what staffing looks like on nights and weekends.
