Evercare Of Granite City looks decent on paper in two places: its health inspection and quality measure ratings each sit at four out of five stars, and the last inspection was recent, September 2025. But the staffing number is the one that should worry you. At 2.45 nurse hours per resident per day, this home runs about 37 percent below the national average, weekends dip another 18 percent below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 78.3 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are new, and there are fewer of them on Saturdays and Sundays. Add 21 deficiencies, four of them harm-level and three abuse-related, plus $32,523 in fines, and the inspection stars stop telling the whole story.
Aspyre Of Bronzeville runs 204 beds on Chicago's South Side under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.58 hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit.
The inspection record is the part that would worry me most: 59 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $107,000, and the last inspection was August 2024. Turnover at 25% is actually better than the 45.8% national average, which matters, but it doesn't offset a 2/5 staffing rating and 2/5 inspection rating. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse-related citations specifically.
Allure of Pinecrest runs 125 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.52 hours per resident per day, about 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage gaps aren't evenly spread. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 38 deficiencies, eight of them at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $188,633 in fines across four penalties. Staff turnover of 37.4% is actually below the national 45.8%, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how the place is run. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 2 out of 5, and the most recent inspection was April 30, 2025.
Pearl Pointe runs on 2.76 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits alongside 67 deficiencies on the current record, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $168,767. Staff turnover, at 43.8%, is actually slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the problem here isn't retention, it's how few hands are on the floor and what inspectors keep finding. The most recent inspection was November 19, 2025.
Arcadia Care Morton runs a 106-bed for-profit home where nurse staffing sits at 2.81 hours per resident day, roughly 27% below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 4% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is the harder problem: 57 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and seven flagged as abuse-related, plus seven fines totaling $366,357. Annual turnover of 54% means more than half the staff leaves every year, against a national 45.8%. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture isn't stale. Ask about direct-care staffing on weekends and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
Hope Creek runs 245 beds in East Moline under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers there deserve a careful look before you tour. Nurse staffing sits around 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 59 deficiencies on file, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse, with five fines totaling $386,400 and a health inspection rating of one star out of five. Last full inspection was August 2024. Turnover, at 41.1%, is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, but it doesn't offset the rest.
Symphony Northwoods runs 2.97 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below what the building already provides on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the workforce itself: 63% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, with a CMS staffing rating of 1 out of 5. The inspection record carries 37 deficiencies, eight of them at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus four fines totaling $126,193; the most recent inspection was January 7, 2026. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, but a for-profit corporate owner with this staffing pattern and this deficiency history is the fuller picture.
Randolph County Care Center runs on thin margins where it counts. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the coverage your family sees Monday may not be there Saturday. Turnover tells a bigger story: 60% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means unfamiliar faces at the bedside. On inspections, the record shows 21 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and five tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $172,932. The last full inspection was April 2024. County-run and 100 beds, but the numbers carry real weight.
Three Springs Sr Living & Rhab runs about 2.91 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 65.1% against a national average of 45.8%, so a lot of the people caring for residents are still new to the building. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the last inspection was September 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company, 83 beds, with a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and 2-out-of-5 on quality measures.
The Citadel at Saint Joseph Village runs a 124-bed nonprofit home in Freeport, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday level, and turnover is 64.9% against a national 45.8%. Inspections back that up: 48 deficiencies on record, seven at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and six fines totaling $125,824. The last inspection was December 2024, so the record is current rather than stale. Quality measures score well, but that's a narrower slice than staffing and inspection history.
Landmark of Hyde Park runs 318 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.05 hours per resident day, roughly 47% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops another 14% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 70 deficiencies, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $118,855 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. Staff turnover at 37.5% is actually lower than the 45.8% national average, which is the one number here working in the home's favor.
Integrity Hc Of Herrin runs 49 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 72.9% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning aides and nurses cycle through constantly. On the current record: 31 deficiencies, including 4 tied to abuse and 1 serious enough to cause harm. The last inspection was September 2024.
Arc At Hickory Point reports 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, which is genuinely above the national average of 3.86, but that number comes with an asterisk. Weekend staffing drops about 10% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 72.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. The inspection record is where things get harder to explain away: 45 deficiencies, 13 of them at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and four fines totaling $355,296. A for-profit corporation runs this 64-bed home in Forsyth. Roughly 72 cents of every dollar in fines here went toward penalties tied to serious resident harm.
Mado Healthcare - Uptown runs on 2.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends dip even further, about 12% under its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the record: 33 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus $123,614 in fines across two cases. The one number that runs the other way is turnover at 29.9%, better than the 45.8% national average, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The last inspection was November 2024, so the picture is current.
St. Anthony's has been cited 56 times on its current record, and nine of those deficiencies put residents in immediate harm or jeopardy, seven involved abuse. The state fined the home four times, totaling $557,075, and the most recent inspection in February 2025 shows the problems are ongoing, not historical. On all three federal measures, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, CMS scored the home 1 out of 5. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 130 certified beds. When a home carries this many harm-level and abuse citations alongside maximum fines, the pattern points to resident safety, not paperwork, as the core failure. Families considering placement here should ask the administrator directly what has changed since that February inspection.
Bria Of Belleville runs 140 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average of 3.86. But that headline number hides a gap: weekend staffing drops about 20% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 53.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are cycling out faster than average.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits. Sixty-six deficiencies are on file, thirteen of them at the harm or jeopardy level and eight abuse-related, with eight fines totaling $375,242. The last inspection was May 2025, and the health inspection rating is 1 out of 5.
Elevate Care South Holland runs 171 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the place to start. At 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip another 16% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Half the nursing staff turned over in a year, above the 45.8% national rate. The inspection record carries 45 deficiencies, 10 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 2 involving abuse, with six fines totaling $240,240. The last state visit was December 13, 2024. For-profit, individually owned.
Goldwater Care Bloomington runs on 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 59.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record is the harder problem: 88 deficiencies, 13 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 6 abuse-related, with three fines totaling $234,633 and placement in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. The most recent inspection was February 2025. If you're considering this home, ask what's changed since then.
The numbers on Arcadia Care On The Hill point to a home stretched thin. At 251 beds it's a large, for-profit building, and its 2.80 nurse staffing hours per resident day fall roughly 27% under the national average, with weekends running about 7% lighter than weekdays. That shortfall shows in the federal staffing rating and in an inspection record carrying 33 deficiencies, 7 of them at the harm or jeopardy level.
The one encouraging figure is turnover: 29.1%, well below the 45.8% national average, so the people who are there tend to stay. Inspections were current as of September 2025, and fines total $57,030. If you're considering this home, ask directly how the low staffing plays out on nights and weekends.
Goldwater Care Peoria Heights runs 94 beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers here are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but it thins out on weekends, and turnover runs at 54.2%, well above the typical 45.8%. The inspection record is the real weight: 104 deficiencies, 12 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 5 tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $527,947. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which it reserves for the country's most persistently troubled homes. One star for health inspections and one for staffing tell you most of what you need to know.
