Nursing homes across Kane County, Illinois, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Tower Hill runs on 2.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29 percent below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits alongside 55 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 11 abuse-related, plus $57,365 in fines. Turnover at 38.3 percent is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours each resident gets. Inspectors were last in on February 6, 2025. For a 206-bed for-profit partnership, ask specifically who covers the floor on Saturday and Sunday.
Pearl of St Charles runs on thin staffing: 3.33 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below what the home already provides on weekdays. That gap shows up in turnover, too, 59.1% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are continually new to residents who need consistency. The record backs this up: 51 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and $41,294 in fines across three penalties. A February 2025 inspection is recent, so the picture isn't stale. For-profit LLC ownership, and a 2/5 on health inspections. Worth asking hard questions before choosing this one.
Bria Of Geneva runs 107 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. Nurses give 3.76 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families visit and outside oversight is quietest. Annual turnover sits at 61.5% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are new to the building. The health inspection rating is solid at 4 of 5, but the current record carries 32 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse.
Pearl Of Orchard Valley runs 203 certified beds in Aurora under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average. Weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 57.7% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where it gets serious: 63 deficiencies, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $542,423. A March 2025 inspection is recent, but the 1-star inspection and staffing ratings tell you what those visits keep finding. If you're considering this one, ask directly how they've addressed the abuse-related citations and what weekend coverage actually looks like.
La Bella Of Aurora runs 2.93 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time than the typical home, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is the bigger problem: 36 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one tied to abuse, and $274,921 in fines across three events. That April 2025 inspection was recent, so this isn't a stale file. It's a 68-bed for-profit LLC, the kind of operation where low staffing and repeated citations tend to reinforce each other rather than resolve.
