Nurse hours

Staff turnover
23%
Serious cites

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. The inspection record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in October 2024 and top marks from CMS for both inspections and staffing. As a nonprofit, it isn't answering to shareholders, and the numbers reflect that stability.

Staff turnover

Moorings of Arlington Heights runs on a nonprofit model with 92 certified beds, and its staffing tells a real story: 5.12 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly a third more hands-on care than most homes provide, and the people delivering it tend to stay, turnover sits at 12.1% while the national figure is closer to 46%. Weekend coverage does dip about 11% below its own weekday level, worth knowing if you'll be visiting Saturdays and Sundays. The health inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, so ask directly how those were resolved when you tour.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
24%
Serious cites

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.

Mather Evanston runs on 5.86 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.8% sits well under the 45.8% typical elsewhere, people tend to stay. The trade-off is modest: weekends run about 8% leaner than weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Seven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a clean inspection in March 2025. As a nonprofit with 37 beds, it's small enough that you can reasonably expect to know the people caring for your relative.

Staff turnover
18%
Serious cites

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. Staff turnover of 18.2% is well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Five deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in November 2024.

Community First Medical Center

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.

Staff turnover
39%

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.

Vi at The Glen runs 47 certified beds in Glenview, and the numbers behind its record are hard to argue with. Nurse staffing sits at 4.54 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 12 percent from its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Annual turnover is 37.9 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for whether caregivers actually stick around. Six deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection came in June 2025. Corporate, for-profit ownership, three 5-star CMS ratings across inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

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.

The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, so ask directly how those were resolved. Its last inspection was February 2025, and all three CMS star ratings sit at five.

Little Sisters Of The Poor runs 76 certified beds on the North Side, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average of 3.86. That coverage thins on weekends, dropping about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 31.5%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. The tradeoff is in the inspection record: 22 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 2 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $9,272. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current.

Eden Vista Prospect Heights runs a small 30-bed operation, and the staffing numbers stand out right away: 5.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average. Just as telling, turnover sits at 26.5% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends dip about 16% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more attention on Saturdays and Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 16 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related.

Terraces At The Clare runs about 4.96 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 28% above the national average, and that's the main reason it holds up well. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 36.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. Ten deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, but two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was recent, in May 2025, and the home is individually owned for profit.

Addolorata Villa sits in Wheeling with 86 certified beds and a church-affiliated nonprofit owner. Staffing is the standout number: 4.97 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 10% below weekdays and turnover at 19% against a national 45.8%. That kind of retention usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. The inspection record is where it gets harder to read. Twenty-five deficiencies are on file, including eight at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $161,411. The most recent inspection was January 2026. Strong staffing, real quality marks, but a citation history a family should ask about directly.

Central Baptist Village runs on staffing that most homes don't come close to, 4.56 nurse hours per resident per day, about 18% above the national average, which is why it earns a top CMS staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The 20 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the last inspection was in August 2025, so the picture is current. Annual turnover of 42% sits slightly better than the 45.8% national average. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, 116 beds.

Alden Estates Of Skokie runs 4.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and its 41% turnover sits below the national 45.8%. Those are real strengths. But the record shows three deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level, and staffing drops about 12% on weekends compared with its own weekdays, a pattern families should ask about directly. The most recent inspection was September 2025. For-profit corporate ownership. Ask about the harm-level deficiency and what changed since.

The British Home in Brookfield runs a nonprofit operation with 72 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.49 hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average of 3.86. That helps explain the top staffing rating from CMS. Weekend coverage runs roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 45.1%, essentially matching the national average of 45.8%, so retention isn't a standout problem here. The inspection record is more mixed: 18 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. The last inspection was February 27, 2025. Quality and inspection ratings both sit at 4 out of 5.

Plymouth Place runs 4.56 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% above the national average, and that staffing depth shows in the numbers: a 4-out-of-5 staffing star and a 5-out-of-5 inspection star, with the most recent survey completed in February 2026. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The record isn't spotless, 11 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. This is a nonprofit home with solid clinical foundations and one past lapse to weigh.

Brandel Health And Rehab runs on 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 6% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Annual turnover of 22.7% is about half the national rate, which matters for whether the aides and nurses caring for your family member stick around. Inspections are recent and the health inspection rating is strong, but the record still carries three deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, and the quality measure rating sits at 2 out of 5. That split, solid staffing and inspection results against weaker clinical quality measures, is what pulls the grade to a B.

Lincolnwood Place

Staff turnover

Lincolnwood Place runs a tight ship on staffing, and that matters more than anything else here. Nurses provide 4.15 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and only about 29% of staff leave each year compared to 46% nationally, a big deal for consistency of care. Weekends dip about 5% below weekday coverage, worth asking about. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: nine deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $42,026 in fines. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the picture is current. For a 40-bed for-profit home, the low turnover and strong staffing are real strengths; the two harm-level citations are the piece to press them on.
