Nursing homes across Kankakee County, Illinois, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
The Arc At Kankakee runs 4.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent above the national average, and weekend staffing holds within about 3 percent of weekday levels, so the raw coverage looks adequate. What sits underneath is harder: 13 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a single $86,813 fine. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 51 beds, and its last inspection was May 9, 2025. A family weighing this home should ask specifically how those abuse-related findings were resolved and whether the same direct-care staff are consistently on the floor.
Citadel Care Center-Kankakee runs 107 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 33.7%, which is better than the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in November 2024. Federal ratings split sharply here: four stars for health inspections, two for quality measures and two for staffing.
Momence Meadows runs about 2.52 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a third below the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip below even that. Staff turnover sits near 51%, higher than the 45.8% national average, so the people providing care keep changing. The inspection record is the harder read: 53 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and eleven tied to abuse. That's what sits behind the low marks on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. With 140 beds under individual for-profit ownership and a November 2024 inspection on the books, this is a home where you'd want to visit unannounced, ask who actually covers weekends, and look closely at how complaints get handled.
Miller Health Care Center runs 160 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 12% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover lands at 42%, actually below the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the main problem here. The inspection record is: 33 deficiencies, 5 of them at harm or jeopardy level, and $189,285 in fines from two events, with the most recent inspection in July 2024. CMS gives 2 of 5 stars for both health inspections and quality measures, 3 for staffing. Nothing abuse-related appears on the record. The pattern is a home that keeps its people but gets cited often, and sometimes seriously, for how it delivers care.
The Citadel of Bourbonnais runs a 107-bed for-profit operation where the staffing numbers are the real story. At 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends dip another 13% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.1% is well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care are cycling through faster than average.
Inspectors last visited in September 2024 and turned up 21 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. The 4/5 inspection rating and 2/5 quality measures don't offset a 1/5 staffing score.
Nurse staffing at Arc at Bradley runs 2.74 hours per resident day, roughly 29 percent under the national average of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends. That shortage shows up in the numbers that matter: 38 deficiencies on the current record, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one tied to abuse, and $24,622 in fines across two cases. Staff turnover sits at 60.3 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, so the people providing care keep changing. The last inspection was in May 2024, and the 1-out-of-5 staffing rating alongside a 2-out-of-5 quality rating tells you where the trouble concentrates.
