All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Carlinville,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Hallmark Hc Of Carlinville is city-owned, which is unusual, most homes are run by chains or private operators, and it holds 49 beds, so it's small. Where it struggles is staffing: 3.10 nurse hours per resident day sits about 20% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover lands at 45%, basically level with the national figure, so that's not the problem here. What stands out is the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus one fine totaling $25,493. The most recent state visit was February 2025, so the picture is current.
Carlinville Rehab & Hcc runs on 3.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below what the home already provides on weekdays. Turnover sits at 62.9% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who know your parent are often the ones walking out the door. The current record carries 38 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and ten tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $171,737. Inspectors were last in on June 26, 2025. This is a for-profit LLC, and the numbers say the money isn't going toward the bedside.
Lakeside runs 3.12 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a fifth less hands-on time than the typical home. Weekends are thinner still, about 13% below its own weekday coverage, and 60.6% of staff turned over in a year versus 45.8% nationally, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, 11 serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, 2 tied to abuse, and $199,461 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current. A for-profit corporation owns the 95-bed building. Staffing, quality measures, and inspection results each land at the low end of CMS's scale.
