Our read on Wheaton Franciscan Hc - Terrace At St Francis

Wheaton Franciscan's Terrace at St. Francis carries 80 deficiencies on its current record, and 11 of those rise to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Seven are abuse-related. That is not a paperwork problem, it is a pattern that inspectors keep finding. The health inspection rating of 1 out of 5 reflects it, and the $219,651 in fines across four separate actions shows regulators have penalized it more than once. Staffing sits slightly under the national average, but the bigger issue is retention: 81.6% turnover means most of the people caring for residents this year will not be there next year, and weekends already run thinner than weekdays.
