and enforcement history.
24 homes
in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Bria Of Geneva runs 107 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. Nurses give 3.76 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families visit and outside oversight is quietest. Annual turnover sits at 61.5% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are new to the building. The health inspection rating is solid at 4 of 5, but the current record carries 32 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse.
Avantara Joliet runs 154 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out most: 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends running about 5% lighter than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 70% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are, more often than not, new to the building. The inspection record shows 40 deficiencies, six serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three fines totaling $33,535. The most recent inspection was December 24, 2025. Nothing here is abuse-related, but a staffing rating of 1 out of 5 alongside that turnover rate tells you where the strain lives.
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 Lakeshore runs 313 beds on Chicago's South Side, and the numbers that matter most here are the ones about hands on residents. At 2.45 nurse hours per resident day, staffing sits roughly 37% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than the home's own weekdays. Turnover is genuinely low at 22.2%, well under the national 45.8%, but steady staff can't offset a schedule this thin. The inspection record is the harder read: 96 deficiencies, 8 at harm or jeopardy level, 7 abuse-related, and $249,799 in fines across five penalties. The last inspection was February 2025. If you're considering this one, ask specifically how many nurses are on the floor on a Saturday night.
Doctors Nursing & Rehab Center runs 120 beds in Salem under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers paint a rough picture. Nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 4 percent below what the home already provides on weekdays. Staff turnover is 53.3 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, so more than half the nursing team turns over in a year.
The inspection record is where things get serious: 35 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $107,564. The most recent inspection was March 13, 2026. If you're considering this home, ask directly what's changed since then.
Ambassador Nursing & Rehab Center runs on 2.58 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 20.2%, well under the national 45.8%, which means the staff who are there tend to stay. The record is where the trouble shows: 62 deficiencies, 5 at harm or jeopardy level, 8 abuse-related, and $134,388 in fines. A 190-bed for-profit LLC in Chicago, inspected most recently in August 2025, with middling marks on health, quality, and staffing. Ask about weekend coverage and how those abuse citations were resolved.
Southgate runs 140 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a mixed story: 3.75 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover at 58.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, that's a lot of unfamiliar faces cycling through. On the inspection side, the record shows 33 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $20,170 in fines, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the weakest of its three CMS scores, while staffing earned 3.
Highland Health Care Center runs on thin staffing: 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% under the national average, with weekends even leaner than weekdays. That's the number behind its one-star staffing rating, and it matters more than the four-star quality measure score, which reflects a narrower set of clinical metrics.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits. Twenty-six deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and a $35,875 fine. The most recent state visit was in September 2024, so the picture is current, not stale.
Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and turnover runs at 66.7% against a national 45.8%. That churn makes consistent care hard to sustain.
Loft Rehab & Nursing of Canton runs 90 beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers that stand out most are on the staffing side. At 2.92 nurse hours per resident day, it's roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, meaning the thinnest shifts get thinner. Turnover sits at 47.5%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, with $134,115 in fines across three penalties; the most recent inspection was August 2024. No abuse deficiencies are on record.
Evergreen Nursing & Rehab Center runs 120 certified beds in Effingham under corporate ownership, and its recent inspection history isn't the problem, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with 15 deficiencies on record, four of them serious enough to cause harm, and no abuse findings. The trouble sits in the staffing numbers. At 2.78 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 28% below the national average of 3.86, weekends dip another 4% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 68.5% against a national 45.8%. One fine totaling $10,542 is on the books. People are being cared for here, but the floor is thin and the faces change often.
Country Health runs lean on nurses: 3.08 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday pace. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record, 53 deficiencies, eight serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 13 tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 53.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing daily care keep changing. This nonprofit campus in Gifford has been fined twice, totaling $150,053, and its last inspection was September 24, 2025. The quality measure score of 3 out of 5 is the strongest part of the file; staffing and health inspection scores both land at 2.
Oak Park Oasis runs 204 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stand out. At 2.98 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 23% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about another 15% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 32.1% is actually better than the national 45.8%, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled. The inspection record is harder to explain away: 52 deficiencies, including five at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus seven fines totaling $244,182. The most recent inspection was October 2024.
Timber Point runs on 2.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 13 percent below its own weekday level. That thin bench shows up in the numbers: 51.7 percent annual turnover against a national 45.8 percent, a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating from CMS, and a chain of 35 deficiencies, five serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $131,617 sit on the record, and the most recent inspection, in June 2025, is recent enough to assume it reflects how things run now. With a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating and corporate for-profit ownership, the pattern is consistent rather than a single bad month.
Continental runs 208 beds on Chicago's West Side with a corporate for-profit owner, and the staffing math is thin: 2.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday levels. Turnover at 31.8% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. What stands out more is the inspection record, 97 deficiencies, nine serious enough to put residents in harm's way, eleven tied to abuse, and twelve fines totaling $305,887. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so it's current. If you're considering this one, go visit on a weekend and ask directly how they staff then.
Sunset Home runs about 3.05 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage dips a bit further below its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the inspection record: 62 deficiencies, 11 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, 8 tied to abuse, and four fines totaling nearly a quarter-million dollars. Staff turnover sits at 49.1%, slightly worse than the national rate, so the people providing care keep changing. The last inspection was in October 2024, and the federal ratings land at one star for health inspections and two each for quality measures and staffing.
Aperion Care Dolton runs 88 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters when needs don't pause on Saturdays. Turnover at 31.9% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the main problem here; the raw hours and inspection record are.
The March 2024 inspection left 32 deficiencies on the current record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Four fines total $168,629. With staffing star at 1 out of 5 and inspection at 2, the numbers point to thin coverage and repeated serious findings rather than one bad survey.
Evercare Of Lebanon runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is the first thing that stands out: 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, about 21% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 12% lighter than weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record, 37 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, six abuse-related, and four fines totaling $303,529, with the most recent inspection in December 2024. Staff turnover at 33.3% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the instability here isn't primarily about people leaving; it's about too few hours on the floor relative to what residents need.
Coulterville Rehab & Hcc runs on 3.11 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 12 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a $113,818 fine. Turnover sits at 47.1%, slightly above the national 45.8%, so caregivers are cycling through. The last inspection was August 2024. Corporate-owned and certified for 75 beds, it earns middling marks on quality measures but the lowest tier for staffing. If you're considering this one, ask directly how many nurses are on the floor on a Saturday night.
Countryside Care Center runs on 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 10% beneath its own weekday level. More than six in ten staff left over the past year, 62.5% turnover against a national 45.8%, so the people showing up are often new. Its inspection history is the harder problem: 61 deficiencies on the current record, seven serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and $317,916 in fines across seven penalties. The five-star quality measure score reflects charted care, not whether enough hands are there to deliver it.
Sunset Rehabilitation and Health Care is a 115-bed for-profit in Canton, and the numbers that stand out most aren't the quality scores, they're the inspection record. Fifty deficiencies on file, eight of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, eight tied to abuse. Add three fines totaling more than $518,000, and a one-star inspection rating, and you've got a paper trail regulators have clearly been working. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average at 3.73 hours per resident day, and it drops about 11% on weekends, which is when families often visit and notice things. The four-star quality measure score reflects what the home reports about resident outcomes, but that's a narrower view than the inspection history, which covers the last visit in November 2024.
