Ryze At Homewood runs 259 certified beds out of a for-profit LLC, and the nurse staffing line is where the trouble starts: 2.49 hours per resident day, roughly 36% below the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 62.4% against a national 45.8%, so even the hours that exist are often worked by someone new. The inspection record backs that up, 73 deficiencies, 15 at harm or jeopardy level, six abuse-related, and $502,525 in fines across 10 citations, with the last inspection in December 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but that's the one bright spot in an otherwise thin picture.
Bria Of Woodriver sits at 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, which lands right on the national average, but that number hides a staffing schedule that thins out considerably on weekends, dropping about 16 percent below its own weekday levels. The bigger problem is who's providing that care and for how long: annual turnover runs 78.5 percent, well above the national 45.8 percent, meaning most of the people caring for your family member will be gone within a year. Behind those numbers is a one-star health inspection rating, 64 deficiencies on the current record with 18 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, and $492,838 in fines across seven penalties. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the persistently worst performers.
Allure of Knox County reports 4.19 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, which is genuinely above the national average of 3.86, that's the one number here that looks decent. Everything else points the other way. Staff turnover runs 73.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year, and weekend coverage dips below its own weekday level. The inspection record carries 41 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and six abuse-related, with $88,229 in fines and a December 2024 inspection. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Ask about turnover and the abuse findings directly before deciding.
Arcadia Care Auburn runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 2.77 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below what it manages during the week. Annual turnover sits at 54.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care are cycling through faster than usual. The inspection record backs up the concern: 33 deficiencies, eight of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $273,034. Its most recent inspection was in February 2025. A 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 1-out-of-5 quality measure rating, in a for-profit corporate home, tell you where the trouble concentrates.
Ryze On The Avenue runs 302 beds on Chicago's South Side, and the numbers behind its record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 2.64 hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips from that already thin weekday level, so there's little sign of extra help when families visit. Nearly three in five staff left over the past year, well above the typical rate. Inspectors have cited 86 deficiencies, seven involving harm or jeopardy and a dozen tied to abuse, with nine fines totaling $192,821. The last inspection was September 2024.
Sullivan Healthcare & Senior Living runs on nurse staffing that's roughly 30% below the national average, 2.70 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 53.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that thinner care are also leaving at a faster clip. The inspection record is where it gets harder to look past: 48 deficiencies, three at the harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, and one fine of $93,289, with the most recent inspection in August 2025 giving all three CMS ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, just one star out of five.
The Citadel at Saint Anne Place carries 43 deficiencies on its current record, nine of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, and $144,440 in federal fines across five citations. That's a heavy enforcement history for a 179-bed nonprofit home, and it's recent, state inspectors were last on site in June 2025. Staffing sits at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 62.2% means most of the people caring for your relative are new, versus 45.8% nationally. Ask the administrator directly how nine harm-level findings were corrected and what weekend coverage looks like now.
Palm Garden of Mattoon carries a one-star rating in all three CMS categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, which tells you the problems run across the board, not just in one area. The inspection record is the heaviest part: 114 deficiencies, with 13 serious enough to put residents in harm's way and 26 tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 2.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop even lower. More than half the nursing staff turned over in a year. Three fines total $351,405. The last inspection was in January 2026. If you're considering this place, ask hard questions about who's actually on the floor.
Warren Barr South Loop runs 210 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, with weekends running about 3% thinner than its own weekdays. That thinness shows up in turnover: 61.5% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record carries 65 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $240,888. Its last inspection was February 2025, so the record is current, and federal ratings put staffing at 1 out of 5. If you're considering this building, ask specifically who is on the floor on weekends and how they're fixing that turnover.
Central Nursing Home runs 245 beds on Chicago's West Side, and the numbers behind its federal record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 2.24 hours per resident per day, roughly 42% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays, so the hours when families visit most are the hours with the least coverage. The inspection record shows 45 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $85,800 and a last inspection in August 2024. Staff turnover of 46.5% is close to the national rate, meaning the instability here isn't unusual for the industry, but combined with the low staffing and quality scores, it leaves little margin.
Aliya Of Crestwood runs about 2.99 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips another 6% below its own weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 65.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. Its current record carries 41 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $80,372; the last inspection was February 2025. The 3-star inspection and quality ratings look passable on their own, but the staffing number is where this one falls apart.
The Odd Fellow-Rebekah Home runs about 3.64 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits alongside a 50.4% annual turnover rate, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Its current record carries 61 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $244,338. The most recent inspection was November 21, 2025, so the picture is current, not stale, a nonprofit home where the numbers say watch closely before deciding.
Imboden Creek runs about 3.17 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekend coverage slips another 10% below its own weekday numbers. That thin staffing shows up in the inspection record: 83 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, nine abuse-related, and five fines totaling $379,323. Annual turnover sits at 50%, above the national 45.8%, so the people providing care keep changing. The last inspection was January 13, 2026, and the federal government's own ratings give this for-profit corporation one star each for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, the lowest marks CMS issues on all three.
Bethany Rehab & Hcc runs 90 certified beds in DeKalb, and the numbers behind its recent inspections are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, below the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping about 12% from its own weekday level. Staff turnover is the harder figure, 72.2% annually, well above the national rate, which means the people caring for residents change often. The inspection record shows 68 deficiencies, 13 of them at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with six fines totaling $365,933. Its last inspection was July 2024. Ask direct questions about consistent weekend coverage and how the home has responded to those findings.
Evercare of Jerseyville runs a for-profit, LLC-owned home of 98 certified beds, and the numbers behind its federal ratings are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 2.89 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 50.8%, above the national rate, and its current inspection record carries 40 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse. Two fines total $143,408, with the most recent inspection dated December 14, 2025.
Sharon Health Care Elms runs 96 beds in Peoria under corporate ownership, and the numbers behind its federal record aren't kind. Nurse staffing sits at 3.52 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, about 12% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 46.2%, essentially matching the national rate, so continuity isn't the outlier here; the shortfall is hours of care.
The inspection history is the heavier problem: 44 deficiencies on the current record, 7 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with four fines totaling $185,971. CMS scored the home 2 out of 5 on health inspections and 1 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing, with the most recent inspection in October 2024.
The Haven of Farmer City runs on 2.64 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the record: 55 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a $122,236 fine. Staff turnover sits at 47.6%, slightly above the national figure, so the people providing that care keep changing. Federal ratings give this home 1 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing, 2 out of 5 on health inspections, and its most recent inspection was March 2026. Corporate-owned, 56 beds. If you're considering it, ask directly how many nurses are on the floor on a Saturday.
Odin Health and Rehab runs 3.02 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a fifth less hands-on time than typical. Weekends drop another 24% below the home's own weekday level, and 61.3% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 53 deficiencies, 12 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $435,072. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the last inspection was May 2025. Quality measures score mid-range, but staffing and inspections sit at the bottom.
Richland Nursing & Rehab runs on 2.85 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up elsewhere: 64.3% annual turnover, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. Federal inspectors have cited 47 deficiencies, 14 of them at a level that caused or risked actual harm, plus five tied to abuse. Ten fines total $401,602. Ownership is a for-profit corporation, and the last inspection was February 2025. If you're considering this one, ask hard questions about who's actually on the floor at 2 a.m. on a Sunday.
Pittsfield Manor runs on a corporate for-profit model, and the numbers show where that pressure lands. Nurse staffing sits at 3.84 hours per resident day, technically just under the national average, but weekends drop about 7% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 63.7% against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the headline staffing figure suggests.
The inspection record is the harder problem: 41 deficiencies, including five at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. Four fines total $212,564, and the most recent inspection was December 2024. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, land at one or two out of five.
