Nursing homes across Will County, Illinois, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Victorian Village in Homer Glen runs a tight ship on staffing: 5.25 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and turnover at 31.6% sits well below the typical 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 11% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The trade-off is in the inspection record, 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level, though nothing abuse-related, and the most recent state visit was July 2025. As a nonprofit with 50 beds, it's small enough that you can press administrators directly on that harm citation and what changed afterward.
Alden Estates Of Shorewood runs about 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average. That staffing cushion is real, though weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week.
Turnover sits at 38.3%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. This is a for-profit corporate home whose numbers hold up on staffing and inspections, with quality measures landing closer to the middle.
Frankfort Terrace runs on 1.86 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly half the national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits behind a staffing star of 3/5. Turnover is genuinely low at 20.8% against a 45.8% national average, so the people who are there tend to stay, but there aren't enough of them. The current record shows 30 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with an inspection last dated June 2024. Quality measures score 5/5, though strong chart numbers don't change how many hands are available at 2 a.m. or on a Sunday.
Sunny Hill is county-owned, and the numbers show a place that's well staffed but not perfect on care quality. At 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 22% above the national average, with turnover at 35.7%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% norm, which matters for consistency. Weekends dip roughly 9% below weekday coverage, though.
The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: 24 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level, and a 2/5 on quality measures despite a 5/5 staffing rating. The most recent inspection was January 2025, so the record is current. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about that harm-level deficiency and how weekend coverage holds up.
Alden Courts of Shorewood runs 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 36.1% is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, two signs of a stable floor. The catch sits in the quality measures, where CMS scores it 1 out of 5, and in 11 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. Weekend staffing dips about 7% below weekday levels. A recent inspection this past July and a clean record on abuse count for something, but the gap between how the place is staffed and how residents are actually faring is the thing to ask about.
St. James Wellness Rehab Villas runs on 3.04 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip another 11% under its own weekday levels. That thin coverage is the main reason its staffing rating sits at the bottom of the federal scale, even though turnover at 34.8% is better than the 45.8% national figure. The 35 deficiencies on record include none flagged for harm or abuse, and the last inspection was recent, in December 2024. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 110 beds, and the quality and inspection scores land mid-range.
Lakewood runs lean on nursing hours, 3.33 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing pattern sits behind a two-star CMS staffing rating, and the inspection record is heavier than most: 35 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus a single $84,925 fine. Staff turnover at 38.7% is actually better than the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the weak spot here. The five-star quality measure score reflects reported clinical metrics, but it's worth asking how those numbers hold up when the floor is short-staffed.
Spring Creek runs lean on nursing hours, 2.67 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a third less direct care than typical. Weekends dip further, about 14% below the home's own weekday staffing, which is when gaps tend to matter most. The trade-off isn't turnover: at 18.2%, it's well under the national 45.8%. What pulls the record down is the inspection side, 35 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $19,135 fine. Ownership is for-profit corporate, 168 beds, rated 2 of 5 on staffing and 3 on both inspections and quality measures. The last survey was December 2025, recent enough to reflect current conditions. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse findings before deciding.
Beecher Manor runs 128 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.95 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. That thin coverage thins further on weekends, which run about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 48.5% tops the national 45.8%. Its current record carries 38 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus one fine of $15,935; the last inspection was August 30, 2024. CMS rates the staffing domain 1 out of 5 while quality measures score 4, a split worth asking about directly.
Parc Joliet runs 203 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 16 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are also the least supervised. Turnover is 36.2 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but it hasn't translated into a clean record: 51 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and ten abuse-related, plus $25,830 in fines. The last inspection was September 25, 2025, and its health inspection rating is 2 out of 5.
Joliet Living & Rehab Center runs 2.26 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 42% less hands-on time than the typical home. Weekends dip about another 10% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families often visit. On paper the quality measure rating is perfect, but the 37 deficiencies on record, eight tied to abuse, and a two-star inspection rating tell a more mixed story. Staff turnover at 24.5% is actually well below the 45.8% national average, meaning the people who are there tend to stay. The last inspection was May 2025.
Aperion Care Wilmington runs on 2.15 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 44% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 47 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 13 tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $293,067. Turnover sits at 43.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but stable-ish staffing doesn't offset a 1-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating or a 2-out-of-5 on health inspections. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the record is current. For-profit, limited liability ownership.
Meadowbrook Manor runs 298 beds in Bolingbrook, and the numbers show a building stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 52.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people at the bedside keep changing.
The inspection record is where it gets serious: 53 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse. Three fines total $169,675, and the last inspection was July 31, 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership, and CMS rated staffing and health inspections both 2 out of 5.
Pearl Of Joliet runs 214 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.13 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 57 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse; CMS has fined the home four times for $109,368 total. Turnover at 42.6% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which is one of the few numbers here that isn't working against it.
Avantara Joliet runs 154 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out most: 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends running about 5% lighter than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 70% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are, more often than not, new to the building. The inspection record shows 40 deficiencies, six serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three fines totaling $33,535. The most recent inspection was December 24, 2025. Nothing here is abuse-related, but a staffing rating of 1 out of 5 alongside that turnover rate tells you where the strain lives.
Renwick Nursing and Rehab runs on 3.22 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 12 percent below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 67.7 percent against a national 45.8, so the aides and nurses who remain are likely covering for a constantly changing crew. The current record carries 52 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $202,040. All three CMS ratings come in at one star, with the last inspection logged in October 2024. For a 120-bed for-profit limited liability company, those numbers describe a home where short staffing, high churn, and repeated citations reinforce each other.
