Lakeland Rehab runs 154 beds in Effingham under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends about 12% thinner than weekdays. The inspection history is the real concern, 27 deficiencies on record, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $86,553. Turnover at 38.6% is actually better than the national 45.8%, and the 4-star health inspection and July 2025 visit are recent positives. But thin daily staffing against that deficiency record is what pulls this home's overall picture down.

Evergreen Nursing & Rehab Center runs 120 certified beds in Effingham under corporate ownership, and its recent inspection history isn't the problem, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with 15 deficiencies on record, four of them serious enough to cause harm, and no abuse findings. The trouble sits in the staffing numbers. At 2.78 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 28% below the national average of 3.86, weekends dip another 4% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 68.5% against a national 45.8%. One fine totaling $10,542 is on the books. People are being cared for here, but the floor is thin and the faces change often.

Nurse staffing at Effingham Healthcare runs 2.92 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less time with a caregiver than the typical home. Weekends are thinner still, about 14% below what the building itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 39.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and it's the only number here that reads favorably.
The inspection record is the harder part: 46 deficiencies, seven serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $132,532. The last inspection was September 2024, so that record is recent. For-profit corporate ownership, 62 beds.
