All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Pekin,
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.
Pekin Manor runs a nonprofit operation with 130 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.23 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average. That's a real strength, though weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekday levels, and annual turnover of 51.6% tops the national figure of 45.8%, so the faces around residents change more than you'd like. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, with a $9,110 fine on file. The most recent state visit was September 2024. Quality and staffing measures both land at 2 out of 5 stars despite the decent hours per resident.
Hallmark Healthcare of Pekin runs 71 beds and staffs nurses at 3.03 hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 11 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover hits 56.7 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for your relative keep changing. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way and six tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $49,745. The most recent inspection was October 2024. Corporate-owned and for-profit, this home's quality scores look better on paper than its staffing and inspection history support.
Timbercreek runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.42 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below what it manages Monday through Friday. That matters over 202 beds, where gaps get covered by whoever's left. Annual turnover sits at 65.9% while the national figure is 45.8%, so the aides and nurses cycling through are often new to the building and to each other. On inspections, the record shows 74 deficiencies, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with seven fines totaling $260,624. The last inspection was August 2024. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care.
