Our read on Foster Health & Rehab Center
On Chicago's Southwest Side, a 46-bed for-profit home run by a limited liability company sits well under the national staffing benchmark, about 16% below it, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover lands at 39.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the consistent staff largely stay. What stands out more is the record: 58 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and a $151,119 fine, with the last inspection in October 2024. Federal inspectors rated health inspections 2 out of 5, though quality measures scored 4 out of 5.
