in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Heartland Senior Living runs 71 certified beds in Neoga under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 16 percent below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 40 percent is actually a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but that's the one bright spot. The inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, including 8 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with four fines totaling $152,711.
Benton Rehabilitation runs 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 9 percent below its own weekday staffing. The inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with one fine of $17,512; the most recent inspection was April 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures and staffing each score 1 out of 5 from CMS, while inspections land at 3. Corporate-owned and certified for 67 beds, this is a home where the daily staffing numbers and the deficiency history tell the same story.
Alden Debes runs 268 certified beds in Rockford under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the first thing to look at: 3.39 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 56.1% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses cycle through faster than typical, and CMS gives staffing 1 out of 5 stars. The inspection record is the harder problem, 44 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and six abuse-related, with $129,985 in fines and a 2-star inspection rating. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, but recent inspections still found serious problems.
Landmark of Richton Park runs 294 beds in Cook County under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth sitting with. Nurse staffing sits at 2.58 hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, with turnover at 54.2% against a national 45.8%. The inspection history shows 70 deficiencies on the current record, 14 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $519,652. Its last inspection was in March 2025, and CMS rates staffing 1 out of 5 stars.
Allure Of Zion runs 5.03 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips only about 8% below its weekday level. That's real coverage on paper. But 53.5% of staff turned over in a year, against a 45.8% national average, so the people delivering those hours keep changing. The inspection record is where the story turns: 66 deficiencies, 8 at harm or jeopardy level, 10 abuse-related, four fines totaling $255,454, and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. The last inspection was July 2024. High staffing hours and a troubled inspection history can coexist, one measures presence, the other measures what happens.
The Pearl of Downers Grove runs on thin staffing: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 64.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative likely weren't there a year ago. The current record carries 58 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $30,794 fine. The last inspection was April 14, 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 145 beds. The pattern here is understaffing, instability, and a documented history of serious problems.
Princeton Rehab & Hcc runs 225 certified beds on Chicago's south side, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out. At 2.64 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about a third below the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is heavy: 49 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $32,136 from a February 2025 inspection. Staff turnover, at 47.1%, runs slightly above the national rate, which means new faces are constant.
Nurse staffing at Arc At Normal runs 2.81 hours per resident day, roughly 27 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip below even that. The current record carries 72 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 16 tied to abuse. Two fines total $62,192, and the last inspection was February 2025. Turnover sits at 40 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but that one comparatively decent number doesn't offset a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating or the inspection and quality scores both at 2. This is a for-profit limited liability company operating 141 certified beds, and the pattern across these numbers is consistent.
Bria Of Chicago Heights runs 112 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.71 hours per resident day, roughly 30 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, seven of them at the harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $165,764 and a survey as recent as May 2025. Turnover at 41.9 percent is slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but that's the one number here working in its favor.
Wabash Senior Living runs 156 certified beds in Carmi under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing worth understanding: 3.21 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 7% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 61.1% while the national figure is 45.8%, meaning roughly six in ten caregivers left within the year. The health inspection side looks stronger, a 4-out-of-5 rating and a recent survey date, but 15 deficiencies sit on the current record, five at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $93,679. Quality measure and staffing ratings both land near the bottom of CMS's five-point scale.
La Bella Of Morrison runs on a nurse staffing level of 3.04 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below what the home already provides on weekdays. The bigger red flag is turnover: 100% of nursing staff left over the past year, against a national rate near 46%. On the inspection side, the record shows 47 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $65,860. The most recent inspection was March 5, 2025. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the staffing star rating sits at 1 out of 5.
The Haven of Tuscola runs on 2.94 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends dip about 14% under its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 87 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with three fines totaling $68,631. Staff turnover sits at 46.7%, slightly above the national rate. Federal ratings give this for-profit LLC one star each for health inspections and staffing, two for quality measures, and the most recent inspection was January 28, 2025. When a building carries that many citations alongside that few staff hours, families should ask hard questions before admitting anyone.
Manor Court of Carbondale runs a nonprofit operation with 120 certified beds, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.42 hours per resident day, which is roughly 14 percent above the national average. That's a real strength on paper, though weekend coverage drops about 15 percent below the home's own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 52.1 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning the people delivering that care are cycling out faster than is typical elsewhere. The inspection record is where things get harder to explain: 38 deficiencies currently on file, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $126,274. The most recent inspection was June 2025.
La Bella Of Woodstock runs on 2.83 nurse hours per resident day, about 27% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing. The inspection record is the bigger issue: 87 deficiencies, 13 of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus 29 abuse-related citations and seven fines totaling just under $600,000. A 1-star inspection rating and 1-star staffing rating sit alongside a 3-star quality measure score, which mostly reflects how well the home documents care, not how much of it residents actually get. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so the record is current, not stale.
Piatt County Nursing Home is county-owned, and its 4.15 nurse hours per resident day sit about 7% above the national average, but that average hides a weekend drop of roughly 17%, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. Turnover runs 56.1% against a national 45.8%, and the record carries 32 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $182,948. The last inspection was June 2025. Staffing and quality measures both score low, and the inspection history is where the real weight sits.
Nature Trail Health And Rehab runs about 3.33 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends drop another 17% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind 28 deficiencies on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with one fine of $28,620. Inspectors were last in the building in December 2025, and the health inspection rating came back at 4 out of 5, so the state's most recent look wasn't the problem. Staff turnover is 49.2%, above the national 45.8%, which matters in a building this size.
Aliya of Glenwood runs 184 beds in Cook County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the root of its problems. At 2.69 hours per resident day, it's about 30% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips roughly 5% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover lands at 48.7%, a few points above the national figure. The inspection record is heavy: 63 deficiencies, 8 at harm or jeopardy level, 6 abuse-related, and seven fines totaling $226,122. Its last inspection was April 2025. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically how they cover weekends and what's changed since those abuse findings.
Briar Place runs on 1.90 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly half the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about another 10% below its own weekday numbers, and 54.1% of staff turned over last year against a national rate of 45.8%. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level and nine abuse-related, with five fines totaling $147,914; the last visit was November 2024. For-profit, limited liability ownership, 232 beds, a two-star health inspection rating and one star for staffing. When a building carries that many harm-level findings and that thin a floor staff, families should ask who is actually on the unit overnight and on weekends.
Complete Care at Margate Park runs 310 beds on Chicago's far North Side, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing: 3.01 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 10% thinner than weekdays. That shortage shows up in the inspection record, 100 deficiencies, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level and 19 tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $155,687. Annual turnover sits at 47.4%, slightly above the national figure, at a for-profit limited liability company. One thing in the home's favor: it was inspected recently, in late February 2026, so the record you're reading reflects current conditions rather than a stale survey.
Aperion Care Forest Park is a 232-bed for-profit home in Cook County with 71 deficiencies on its current record, 12 of those at the harm or jeopardy level, 8 involving abuse. That's an unusually heavy enforcement history, and it shows in the fines: six penalties totaling $387,772. The government's health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 stars.
Staffing tells a similar story. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, the home runs about 16 percent below the national average, and weekends dip another 16 percent below its own weekdays. Turnover is 38.2 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, the one number here that isn't a red flag, though it doesn't offset the rest. Its last inspection was in January 2025.
