All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Oak Lawn,
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.
Warren Barr Oak Lawn runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, 3.52 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends dip further below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 52.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well anyone knows your mother's routines. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse, and the most recent visit was January 31, 2025, so the picture is current. The 4-star health inspection rating is genuinely good; the 2-star staffing rating is the counterweight, and it's the number I'd ask about directly.
Aliya Of Oak Lawn runs 191 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a hard story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.46 hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips roughly 3% below its own weekday level, meaning help is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 62% against a national average of 45.8%. On the inspection side, CMS records 81 deficiencies, 16 at harm or jeopardy level and 13 abuse-related, with three fines totaling $299,044; the most recent inspection was January 16, 2025. Quality measure scores look strong, but that's the one bright spot in an otherwise difficult picture.
Aperion Care Oak Lawn runs on thin staffing, about 3.08 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop even further below its own weekday levels. That's a problem when you consider the inspection record: 62 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and 13 tied to abuse. More than half the nursing staff turns over in a year, well above the national rate of 45.8%, which makes consistent care hard to sustain. Federal fines total just over $52,000 across four penalties, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. For-profit ownership under a limited liability company rounds out a picture where the numbers consistently point the same direction.
Landmark of Oak Lawn runs 143 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 2.74 hours per resident day, roughly 29% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover hits 67% against a national average near 46%, while the current inspection record carries 57 deficiencies, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $308,189. CMS rates the home 1 star on staffing and 2 stars each on health inspections and quality measures, with the most recent inspection dated December 2024. If you're weighing this one, that combination, thin staffing, high turnover, repeat serious deficiencies, deserves hard questions before a move-in.
