and enforcement history.
24 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Aperion Care West Chicago runs 213 certified beds on 1.69 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 56% below the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are also the ones families tend to visit.
The inspection record shows 53 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level and 18 abuse-related, with four fines totaling $289,723. Retention is unusually steady at 20.3% turnover against a national 45.8%, which suggests the problem isn't churn but how few staff are scheduled per resident.
The most recent inspection closed January 31, 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. If you're weighing this one, ask how many nurses are actually on the floor on a Saturday.
Peterson Park runs about 11% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, and weekends dip slightly further below its own weekday levels, worth knowing if your visits tend to fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The 33 deficiencies on record include two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, which is a lot of inspection history to carry for a 196-bed for-profit home. Staff turnover sits at 37.1%, actually better than the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents aren't cycling out as fast as elsewhere. The tradeoff: consistent caregivers, but fewer of them per resident, and a recent November 2025 inspection that found real problems.
Park Ridge Healthcare Center runs 46 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.94 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, with weekends running about 13% thinner than weekdays. That said, the 14.3% annual turnover is remarkably low against a 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The trouble shows up in inspections: ten deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is where this home struggles.
Bria of Forest Edge is a 328-bed for-profit home on Chicago's far south side, and the numbers that stand out most aren't the ones on its marketing. Its 71 deficiencies include 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse, that's a pattern, not a one-off. Nurse staffing sits at 2.97 hours per resident day, well under the 3.86 national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level. The one bright spot is turnover: 36.1% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning workers stay longer than at a typical home. But with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and $407,863 in fines across three cases, that retention hasn't translated into safer care.
St Patrick's Residence runs on a genuinely strong staffing model, 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and its 28.9% turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. But the inspection record is the problem: 26 deficiencies on file, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That's a lot of serious findings for one building, and the most recent inspection was January 2025.
The quality measure rating sits at 3 out of 5, and weekend staffing drops about 8% below weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even. A 209-bed nonprofit with stable staff but a troubled survey history is worth a close look at the actual deficiency reports before you decide.
Smith Village is a nonprofit home on Chicago's South Side with 93 certified beds, and its staffing is genuinely heavy, 5.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 36% above the national average, though weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. The trouble sits elsewhere: 23 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, plus a $16,350 fine and a November 2025 inspection that landed at two stars for health inspections and two for quality measures. Staff turnover of 57.3% is well above the national 45.8%. Generous staffing only helps if the same caregivers stay long enough to know the residents.
If your family member needs nursing care in Streator, Parker Nursing & Rehab's staffing numbers are the first thing to sit with. Nurses give 3.01 hours per resident per day, about 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is heavier than most: 62 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, 13 abuse-related, and 16 fines totaling $169,423. Staff turnover of 35.3% is actually better than average, which tells you the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are on the floor.
Allure Of Moline runs 120 certified beds as a for-profit partnership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.26 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That shortfall shows up in the weekend figures too, where hours don't rise to offset anything. Annual turnover sits at 50%, above the national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are cycling through. The current inspection record carries 46 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 abuse-related, with one fine of $14,901. The most recent inspection was in May 2025. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, but staffing sits at 1 and health inspections at 2.
The Haven of Arcola runs lean on nurses: 2.37 hours per resident per day, roughly 39 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 12 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover of 38.6 percent is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but that's the one bright spot. The current record shows 49 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse. State inspectors last visited in September 2025; CMS rated staffing 1 out of 5 stars, with inspection and quality measures at 2 each. For-profit ownership under a limited liability company rounds out the picture.
Scott County Nursing Center runs on county money, and its staffing numbers are its strongest card: 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with a 5-star CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 40%, better than the 45.8% national figure. But the care record tells a harder story. Nine deficiencies are on file, four at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $29,295 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2026, so the findings are current, not stale. Weekend staffing drops about 12% below weekday levels. Adequate hands, but serious quality and safety problems documented recently.
On Chicago's Southwest Side, a 46-bed for-profit home run by a limited liability company sits well under the national staffing benchmark, about 16% below it, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover lands at 39.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the consistent staff largely stay. What stands out more is the record: 58 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and a $151,119 fine, with the last inspection in October 2024. Federal inspectors rated health inspections 2 out of 5, though quality measures scored 4 out of 5.
Fargo Health Care Center runs lean on the floor: 2.83 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 42 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $245,827 and a survey as recent as August 2025. Staff turnover at 20.3% is genuinely better than the 45.8% national figure, and quality measures score well, but a for-profit LLC structure with that staffing and deficiency history makes the tradeoff clear.
Resthave Home in Morrison runs a nonprofit shop with 70 beds, and its staff retention is genuinely better than most, 34.7% turnover against a national average near 46%. That stability matters, but it doesn't cancel out what inspections found: 33 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. State surveyors rated the health inspection side 2 out of 5.
Alden Courts of Waterford sits in Aurora with 60 certified beds, run by a for-profit corporation. Nurse staffing runs 3.92 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 46.7%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations, and a single fine of $21,645. Inspectors were last on site in August 2025. The health inspection rating is strong at 4 stars, but quality measures sit at 2, which is where the trouble shows.
Asbury Court runs a lean ship on turnover: 29.9% annual staff turnover sits well below the 45.8% national average, and total nurse staffing of 4.94 hours per resident day beats the typical 3.86. That's a real advantage, though weekends dip about 17% below weekday coverage, so care may thin out when families visit most.
The inspection record tells a harder story. Nineteen deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, produced a 2/5 health inspection rating and a $9,200 fine. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the record is current.
For-profit, individually owned, 79 beds. Strong staffing and retention, but the harm-level and abuse citations are the kind of thing worth asking the administrator about directly before deciding.
All American Village runs 144 beds on Chicago's Far South Side as a for-profit LLC, and its last full health inspection was in April 2025. The record shows 34 deficiencies, including two at the level that caused actual harm or put residents in immediate jeopardy, plus six tied to abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 2.47 hours per resident day, roughly 36% under the national average, and weekends run about 21% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 25%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so aides tend to stay, there just aren't enough of them scheduled.
Three Crowns Park is a small nonprofit home in Evanston, just 34 certified beds, and it was inspected recently, in April 2025. The staffing number is the one that stands out: one star, well below what CMS expects, in a building where there's no corporate chain to blame and no obvious excuse for running thin. Its inspection record shows five deficiencies, three tied to abuse and two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy. A recent inspection with active harm-level findings isn't a stale problem. If you're considering this place, ask what changed after April and who's on the floor overnight.
Winston Manor runs on 1.39 nurse hours per resident per day, about 64 percent below the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops another 7 percent below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star CMS staffing rating and a two-star inspection record: 36 deficiencies, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level, and eight tied to abuse. The five-star quality measure score looks strong, but those numbers come from resident assessments, not from how many hands are actually on the floor. This is a 180-bed for-profit corporate home in Chicago last inspected in June 2024.
Crestwood Terrace runs lean on the floor: 2.27 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends staffed roughly 14% thinner than weekdays. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when questions go unanswered longer. Turnover is the bright spot, 19.6% against a national 45.8% means the aides you meet are more likely to still be there next year. But the inspection record is heavy: 29 deficiencies, 8 involving harm or jeopardy, 6 tied to abuse, and a recent inspection in August 2024. For-profit individual ownership runs the building, and quality scores look strong while staffing and inspection scores sit at 2 out of 5.
Joliet Living & Rehab Center runs 2.26 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 42% less hands-on time than the typical home. Weekends dip about another 10% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families often visit. On paper the quality measure rating is perfect, but the 37 deficiencies on record, eight tied to abuse, and a two-star inspection rating tell a more mixed story. Staff turnover at 24.5% is actually well below the 45.8% national average, meaning the people who are there tend to stay. The last inspection was May 2025.
