All 7 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Niles,
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.
Niles Nsg & Rehab Ctr runs 304 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers split in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 2.65 hours per resident day, roughly 31 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8 percent below the home's own weekday level, so the daily coverage is thin, especially Saturdays and Sundays. What offsets that is consistency: turnover at 17.8 percent is well under the national 45.8 percent, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections back that up, with a 5-star health inspection rating, 8 deficiencies on record and just one at the harm level.
Celebrate Senior Living Niles runs 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86, and its 38.6% turnover sits below the national 45.8%, staff tend to stay longer here than at the typical home. Weekend coverage dips about 9% under weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The record isn't spotless: six deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $29,754, though none tied to abuse. A 4/5 inspection rating from the most recent survey in October 2024 suggests the problems were addressed rather than ongoing.
Aperion Care Niles runs a lean nursing floor for a 99-bed for-profit home, 2.80 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekdays. Turnover of 29.8% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay. Inspections are a different story: 20 deficiencies on record, four at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $25,464. The last inspection was March 5, 2025, so that record is recent. Strong quality scores and a 4-star inspection rating sit alongside thin daily staffing, worth asking how coverage holds up on a Saturday.
Citadel At Saint Benedict runs 99 certified beds in Niles under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is the weak spot: 3.53 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection history carries real weight too, 12 deficiencies on record, four at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $64,531. Turnover at 41% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection in May 2025 is fairly current. What pulls the numbers down is what happens between inspections: thinner weekend coverage and a citation record that includes harm-level findings.
Elevate Care Niles runs 302 beds in Cook County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record carries 41 deficiencies, nine at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus $109,216 in fines; the most recent inspection was November 21, 2025. Turnover of 26.3% is genuinely better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. But the state survey findings and thin daily staffing are the numbers worth weighing hardest if you're deciding.
Elevate Care North Branch runs 212 beds in Niles, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 41.4 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record is the heavier problem: 56 deficiencies, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $234,006. The most recent inspection was April 18, 2025.
Elevate Care Regency runs 254 beds in Niles under for-profit LLC ownership, and the record has some weight to it. State inspectors cited 30 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse; four fines add up to $344,195. Staffing sits at 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, the stretch when families often visit. Turnover is the one bright spot at 25.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. A recent April 2025 inspection means the picture is current.
