Victorian Village in Homer Glen runs a tight ship on staffing: 5.25 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and turnover at 31.6% sits well below the typical 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 11% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The trade-off is in the inspection record, 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level, though nothing abuse-related, and the most recent state visit was July 2025. As a nonprofit with 50 beds, it's small enough that you can press administrators directly on that harm citation and what changed afterward.

Oak Trace runs on 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the health inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, two of them at the harm level, with no abuse citations and one fine of $13,780. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current. As a nonprofit with 104 beds in Downers Grove, it posts strong quality and staffing marks; the harm-level deficiencies and that weekend gap are the two things pulling an otherwise solid record down a notch.

Central Baptist Village runs on staffing that most homes don't come close to, 4.56 nurse hours per resident per day, about 18% above the national average, which is why it earns a top CMS staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The 20 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the last inspection was in August 2025, so the picture is current. Annual turnover of 42% sits slightly better than the 45.8% national average. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, 116 beds.

Alden Estates Of Skokie runs 4.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and its 41% turnover sits below the national 45.8%. Those are real strengths. But the record shows three deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level, and staffing drops about 12% on weekends compared with its own weekdays, a pattern families should ask about directly. The most recent inspection was September 2025. For-profit corporate ownership. Ask about the harm-level deficiency and what changed since.

Wynscape runs a 209-bed nonprofit home in Wheaton with nurse staffing at 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, though weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels, so ask how coverage holds up on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. Inspections are recent and strong, but the current record still carries 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. The high inspection and quality ratings reflect real strengths; the deficiency record is where the risk lives.

The county-run home in Macomb runs on 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and its 28.4% turnover sits well under the 45.8% typical elsewhere, signs of a stable, well-staffed floor. State inspectors visited in March 2025 and rated the home 5 out of 5, though the record carries 14 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm. Quality measures are the soft spot at 2 out of 5, and weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. No abuse citations appear on the current record.

Heritage Square runs about 6.85 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 78 percent more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.6 percent sits well under the 45.8 percent typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage dips about 14 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The 11 deficiencies on record include nothing involving harm or abuse, and a September 2025 inspection found no health problems worth flagging. What stands out is the split: staffing and inspection results look strong, while the quality measure side tells a different story. A small nonprofit home with 27 beds, it leans hard on having enough hands on deck.

Henderson County Ret Center runs on a nonprofit model with 58 certified beds, and the nurse staffing number sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover is 52.6%, which is higher than the national 45.8%, so you'd want to ask how they hold onto aides and nurses. The inspection record is clean where it matters: five deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 2, 2025.

Concordia Village runs a church-affiliated nonprofit home with 62 beds in Springfield, and the staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage slips about 6% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 44.7%, essentially matching the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $8,678. The last inspection was August 2024. Quality measures land mid-range while staffing rates high, so the direct-care hours look better than the survey history.

Greenfields Of Geneva runs about 4.52 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 17% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.6% sits below the national 45.8%, meaning people tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $14,203. Weekend staffing drops about 12% from weekday levels, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The most recent inspection was in December 2025.

Memorial Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 82 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 5.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 37% above the national average. That's a real cushion, and it shows up in the four-out-of-five staffing star. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, which isn't unusual but is worth asking about. Turnover sits at 49.5%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is clean, four deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures came in at three stars, the softest spot in the profile.

Burgess Square runs on unusually heavy staffing for a for-profit partnership home, 4.94 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so the number on paper isn't identical every day of the week.
The inspection record is where the picture gets less comfortable. Thirty deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Turnover at 46.6% sits just above the national figure, meaning the staff providing that strong coverage is cycling through fairly quickly. Families weighing this one should ask directly how the harm-level findings were resolved.

The Village at Victory Lakes runs a nonprofit home in Lindenhurst with 120 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest thing going for it, 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 10% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 34.8%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The trouble is the inspection record: 27 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and five fines totaling $389,691. Quality and staffing measures both rate well, but the last inspection in March 2026 and the weight of those health citations pull the overall picture down.

Prairieview Lutheran Home runs on a non-profit model with 90 certified beds in Danforth, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star and turnover at 34.5% against a national 45.8%. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about. The trouble sits in inspections. A 2/5 health inspection star, 28 total deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and four fines totaling $89,042, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. Good staffing doesn't erase a record like that, and it's the inspection history that drags this home down.

Eden Village Care Center runs on a nonprofit model in Glen Carbon with 107 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86. That's the kind of margin that shows up in daily care, though weekend coverage drops about 19% below its own weekday level, so families should ask how that gap gets managed. Staff turnover sits at 42.5%, a little better than the 45.8% national figure. Ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in February 2025.

Beacon Hill runs 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86, and that shows in its staffing rating. The catch is weekends: coverage drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so care thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 41.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning two in five caregivers left within the year. Inspections in July 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with two fines totaling $30,186. No abuse citations, and this nonprofit's quality measures hold at 4 out of 5.

Lutheran Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 96 certified beds in Altamont, and its staff retention is the standout number: 20.5% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning caregivers tend to stay. That stability shows in the staffing star rating, which is perfect, even though the raw hours, 3.51 per resident day, sit about 9% under the national figure, and weekends run thinner than weekdays by roughly a tenth. The caution side is the inspection record: 11 deficiencies, three serious enough to count as harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $19,208. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current.

Fayette County Hospital runs 4.88 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 26% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 9% below its weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the national 45.8%, and the home holds five stars for both staffing and health inspections, with its most recent inspection dated January 16, 2026. The weaker spot is quality measures, rated one star, and seven deficiencies remain on record, one at the harm level, along with a single $18,233 fine. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation. Strong hands-on care and steady retention, but the clinical outcomes those hours produce don't track with the staffing numbers.

Valley Hi is county-run, and the staffing shows it: 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, earning a top staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, though, and turnover sits at 33.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still a third of the workforce leaving each year. The inspection record is where it gets heavier: 30 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $155,366. A recent March 2026 inspection means the picture is current. Strong hands on deck, but a documented history that needs watching.

Knox County Nursing Home runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and seven total deficiencies on the current record, none of them causing harm or involving abuse. That's a clean record for a 169-bed county-owned home, and its last full inspection was recent, in August 2024. Staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, with weekends about 4% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The number that stands out is turnover: 34% against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay longer than they do at most homes.
