Nursing homes across Franklin County, Illinois, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Stonebridge runs 80 certified beds in Benton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.40 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage holds steady against weekdays, so the shortfall isn't a weekend problem; it's the baseline. Annual turnover of 54% tops the national 45.8% figure, meaning a good share of the people providing that care are new to the building.
The inspection side looks better: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, seven deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent survey done in December 2025. Quality measures are where it slips, at 1 out of 5, the kind of split that usually means the home passes its surveys but struggles to hit clinical targets.
Helia Healthcare of Benton runs on thin staffing: 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage. The 47.8% turnover rate is a bit worse than the national figure, and CMS gives staffing a single star. Inspections are the bright spot, a five-star health inspection rating, a clean record on abuse, and the last visit came in May 2025. Still, five deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. Corporate ownership, a low staffing score, and that one high-level citation are what hold the overall picture back.
Benton Rehabilitation runs 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 9 percent below its own weekday staffing. The inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with one fine of $17,512; the most recent inspection was April 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures and staffing each score 1 out of 5 from CMS, while inspections land at 3. Corporate-owned and certified for 67 beds, this is a home where the daily staffing numbers and the deficiency history tell the same story.
Axiom Healthcare of West Frankfort runs on 2.83 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 64 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $177,001. Staff turnover, at 38.5%, is actually better than the national 45.8%, so the problem isn't retention, it's how few hours reach the floor. Corporate-owned, 96 beds, last inspected March 2025; the quality measure score of three stars stands out against a one-star inspection and staffing picture.
