All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Mattoon,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Palm Garden of Mattoon carries a one-star rating in all three CMS categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, which tells you the problems run across the board, not just in one area. The inspection record is the heaviest part: 114 deficiencies, with 13 serious enough to put residents in harm's way and 26 tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 2.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop even lower. More than half the nursing staff turned over in a year. Three fines total $351,405. The last inspection was in January 2026. If you're considering this place, ask hard questions about who's actually on the floor.
The Odd Fellow-Rebekah Home runs about 3.64 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits alongside a 50.4% annual turnover rate, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Its current record carries 61 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $244,338. The most recent inspection was November 21, 2025, so the picture is current, not stale, a nonprofit home where the numbers say watch closely before deciding.
Mattoon Rehab & Hcc runs 148 certified beds as a nonprofit, but the numbers behind its record are rough. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 59.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team left within a year. The current inspection record carries 67 deficiencies, including 8 at harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $175,366. Its last inspection was September 17, 2025. A nonprofit label doesn't guarantee better care here.
