24 homes
in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Pearl of Hillside runs 198 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.15 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 52 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $131,810. Turnover at 41.1% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but that's the one number working in its favor. The most recent inspection was March 2025.
Alden Estates of Orland Park runs 200 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.65 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 50.3% runs above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses caring for residents are often new to the building. The inspection record backs that up: 53 deficiencies, seven serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $87,510.
Elevate Care Country Club Hill runs 200 certified beds in Cook County under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 54 deficiencies, 14 of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, and seven fines totaling $436,375. Turnover, at 45.1%, is basically average. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspections don't.
Elevate Care Windsor Park is a 240-bed for-profit home on Chicago's southwest side, and the number that stands out is nurse staffing: 2.97 hours per resident day, roughly 23% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 14% thinner than weekdays, so coverage gets lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 42.1%, a bit better than the national 45.8%, but that's cold comfort next to 72 deficiencies on the current record, 8 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, plus four fines totaling $84,764. The last inspection was April 3, 2026, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5. Ask about weekday-to-weekend staffing and how abuse-related issues were resolved.
Loft Rehab of Rock Springs carries 94 deficiencies on its current record, six of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, and eight tied to abuse. Those aren't paperwork problems. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, and the staffing rating matches it, 2.85 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time. Weekend coverage drops another 11% below the home's own weekday numbers. Turnover at 43.7% is marginally better than the 45.8% national figure, which is the only number here that isn't working against it. A $17,870 fine and a March 2025 inspection round out the picture.
Berkeley Nursing & Rehab Center runs on 2.53 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends dip another 10% under its own weekday staffing. For a 72-bed home, that thin margin matters, 35 deficiencies sit on the current record, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and CMS has issued 25 fines totaling $252,245. The ownership is for-profit and individually held, and turnover at 39.6% actually beats the national rate, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled. The last inspection was April 2025, and the health inspection rating of 4/5 is genuinely decent, it's the staffing side that drags everything down.
Monmouth Rehab and Nursing is a 58-bed for-profit home in Warren County, and the numbers that matter most here are the inspection ones. Its current record carries 48 deficiencies, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, a pattern serious enough that CMS has issued 4 fines totaling $233,350, with the most recent inspection dated March 20, 2026. Staffing sits at 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 9 percent thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover, at 45.5 percent, is essentially the national rate.
Pinckneyville Nursing & Rehab is a for-profit, LLC-owned home with 60 certified beds in Perry County. Nurse staffing sits at 3.43 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, so coverage tends to dip right when families are most likely to visit. Annual turnover hits 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors last visited in April 2025 and cited 19 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with $100,864 in fines on record. The 4/5 inspection rating doesn't carry the rest: the 1/5 quality measure score is the deeper concern.
Pine Crest runs on about 2.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop another 18% under its own weekday level. Nine of the 53 deficiencies on record sit at harm or jeopardy level, and there are ten abuse-related citations plus four fines totaling nearly $120,000. The one bright spot is turnover, 30.3% against a national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay. But with a 1-star inspection rating and a 199-bed for-profit partnership, the numbers suggest a building where the care depends heavily on which shift your relative happens to get.
Aperion Care Wesley runs 108 beds on Chicago's South Side under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers show a building stretched thin on the people side. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, but the bigger issue is consistency: weekends run about 16% leaner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 56.7% against a national 45.8%. Inspectors have logged 48 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, with $63,832 in fines and a January 2025 inspection. The quality measure score looks strong, but that reflects charted care, not the staffing that delivers it.
Axiom Healthcare of Flora runs 99 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.16 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out further, dropping about 21% below the home's own weekday levels, and staff turnover lands near 43.6%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure.
What stands out more is the inspection record: 23 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus $9,110 in fines. The last inspection came in October 2024, and the quality measure rating sits at 1 out of 5. A 4-star health inspection rating looks decent on its own, but it doesn't erase that deficiency list.
Alden Town Manor runs 249 beds in Cicero, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. At 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record backs that up: 49 deficiencies, nine of them at the harm or jeopardy level, nine tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $270,515. Turnover at 40.3% is a little better than the national 45.8%, but that's the one number here working in its favor.
Eastside Health and Rehabilitation Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.09 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below what the building manages on weekdays. That's a real gap for a 92-bed for-profit, and it shows up in a federal staffing rating of 1 out of 5. The inspection history is mixed: a recent visit in June 2025 and a 4-star inspection rating, but 14 deficiencies on record, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Quality measures sit at 2 stars. Ownership is corporate, for-profit.
Hillview Senior Living & Rehab runs about 2.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday coverage, that thin margin is where the staffing picture gets its lowest marks. The good news sits on the inspection side: six deficiencies on record, none causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey completed in June 2025, so the home's last look from regulators is recent and clean. What pulls the overall picture down is the split between how the place is run and how residents are actually doing, state inspectors found little to fault, but the clinical quality measures and the day-to-day staffing numbers tell a quieter story worth asking about directly.
Arcadia Care Rock Island runs 177 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average, but weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, a gap families often feel when they visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $105,810. Turnover at 46.4% is essentially the national rate. The most recent inspection was August 2024. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating alongside a 4-out-of-5 quality measure score suggests the clinical measures look better on paper than the day-to-day oversight does.
Shawnee Senior Living runs 159 certified beds in Herrin under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends running about 18% below its own weekday level. Turnover of 44.7% sits close to the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here, it's the thin daily coverage combined with a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 and 52 deficiencies on the current record, 12 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 10 abuse-related. Two fines totaling $313,508 are on file, and the most recent inspection was June 12, 2025.
Abbington Vlge runs about 2.96 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 20% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 58.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses your family member sees are changing often. The home carries 37 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a 3/5 inspection rating and 2/5 ratings for both quality measures and staffing. Owned by a for-profit corporation and last inspected in April 2026, it clears the safety bar but runs lean on people. Ask how they cover a weekend callout.
Sharon Health Care Pines runs 116 beds in Peoria under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last inspection was September 3, 2025. The record behind it is heavy: 41 deficiencies, nine of them at the level where residents were actually harmed, and 16 tied to abuse. Fines total $235,100 across two penalties. Nurse staffing sits at 2.77 hours per resident day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays. Turnover comes in at 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but that's the one number leaning your way. Federal inspectors rated health inspections and staffing each 1 out of 5 stars, with quality measures at 4.
Loft Rehab & Nursing Of Normal carries 83 deficiencies on its current record, and 14 of those reached the harm or jeopardy level. Seven are abuse-related, which is the category families tend to care about most. The home is licensed for 116 beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its last inspection was in October 2024. Nurse staffing sits at 3.07 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 56.3%, well above the 45.8% norm. Five fines totaling $406,595 round out the record. Compare that against the quality measure rating of 5, a number that looks better than the inspection and staffing picture around it.
Arcadia Care Bloomington runs a 115-bed for-profit home, and the staffing numbers are the place to start: 2.59 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, with weekends running about 7% thinner than weekdays. That shortfall lines up with a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating from CMS. Turnover sits at 39.1%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the issue isn't retention, it's how few hands are on the floor per resident. The inspection record is heavy: 58 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, 14 abuse-related, and three fines totaling $179,825, with the most recent inspection in April 2025.
