Westminster Place runs on 5.23 nurse hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover of 23.1% is roughly half the national rate. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays.

For a family weighing a placement, that single high-level deficiency is the detail worth asking about directly.

Four deficiencies sit on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was in late 2024. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership with 100 certified beds. Five stars on both inspections and staffing, four on quality measures. Nothing here looks like a facility coasting on reputation.

Nurse staffing at Selfhelp Home of Chicago runs 4.85 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekends dip only about 9% below weekdays, a modest drop compared with what many homes see. Annual turnover sits at 24.4%, well under the national 45.8%. The tradeoff is on the inspection side: 21 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the last inspection in August 2024. The nonprofit's quality and staffing measure ratings are both top-tier, so the care numbers look strong; the open question is how that one serious deficiency fits with everything else.

Little Sisters of the Poor of Palatine runs 49 certified beds on Palatine's north side, and the numbers behind its record are unusually steady for a home this size. Nurse staffing sits at 5.74 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only about 10% below its own weekday level, which matters because weekend gaps are where a lot of homes quietly slip.

Community First Medical Center sits on Chicago's north side with 66 certified beds and a for-profit individual owner. The staffing numbers stand out: 7.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover of 31.3% beats the 45.8% national figure.
The inspection record is mixed but not alarming. Twenty deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related citation. The last inspection was August 2024, so the record is reasonably current. CMS gives it four stars for health inspections and quality measures, five for staffing.
What the numbers describe is a small home that invests heavily in nursing hours and retains staff better than most, while carrying a moderate deficiency load and a slight weekend gap worth asking about directly.

Gottlieb Memorial is small, 32 certified beds, and it's run by a nonprofit corporation, which tends to mean the money goes back into the building rather than out to shareholders. The staffing numbers are the real story here: 5.56 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly 44% more hands-on time than a typical home, and weekend coverage barely drops off from weekdays, so your family member isn't getting a skeleton crew on Sundays. Turnover sits at 38.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though not low enough to call it settled. Six deficiencies on record, none at the level that suggests actual harm, but two tied to abuse, worth asking about specifically.

Staff turnover is 28%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. The current record carries seven deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A 5/5 inspection rating and a November 2024 survey round out a record that looks stable rather than lucky.

Nurse staffing sits at 6.69 hours per resident day, roughly 73% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips about 32% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinner on Saturdays and Sundays even though the overall floor is high.

Renaissance Care Center runs 7.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average, and that staffing shows up in a lower turnover rate too, 26.1% against a national 45.8%.

The tradeoff sits on the inspection side: 28 deficiencies on record, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. State surveyors were last in on January 9, 2025, so the findings are recent. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified at 120 beds, this is a home with real bedside hours and a compliance record that needs a closer look before you decide.

Apostolic Christian Skylines runs on 4.92 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home.

Five stars on both inspections and staffing, four on quality measures, the weaker numbers sit in care outcomes, not in who's on the floor.

The Admiral At The Lake runs on 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 15.2 percent sits far below the 45.8 percent typical elsewhere. Weekend staffing dips about 11 percent under weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The 25 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in March 2026. For a 36-bed nonprofit, the pattern is steady care with a stable workforce, though that single harm-level finding deserves a direct question about what happened and what changed.
