Evercare At University runs on 2.93 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops further from there. Staff turnover sits at 63.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are constantly changing. The inspection record is heavy: 68 deficiencies, 15 of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, 10 tied to abuse, and $398,905 in fines across eight citations. A for-profit corporation operates the 118-bed building, which was last inspected in February 2025. Families weighing this one against others in Madison County should ask directly how the home plans to fix its staffing and abuse record.
Washington Senior Living runs 122 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 67.5% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people providing care keep changing. The inspection record backs that up: 64 deficiencies, 18 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus a $230,097 fine. The most recent inspection was December 2024.
Evercare Of Breese runs 112 certified beds under a for-profit LLC, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 2.70 total nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 30% below. Weekend coverage drops about another 10% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts get thinner. The inspection record carries 13 deficiencies, 5 of them at harm or jeopardy level, with 5 fines totaling $177,557. Quality measures scored 1 out of 5 stars. The last inspection was January 31, 2025, so the record is recent, not stale. Five harm-level findings and a staffing shortfall that size are the two facts worth weighing hardest.
Bria of Elmwood Park carries one of the heaviest regulatory loads in Cook County. Its record shows 100 deficiencies, including 26 that put residents in immediate harm or jeopardy and 16 tied to abuse, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the small share of homes with a pattern of persistent problems. Fines total $616,979 across 10 penalties. Nurse staffing sits slightly under the national average, and weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, with 48.5% annual turnover. All three CMS star ratings, inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at the lowest tier, and the most recent inspection was February 2025.
Chicago Ridge SNF runs 231 beds on 2.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17 percent below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record is heavy: 119 deficiencies, 24 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 19 abuse-related, plus five fines totaling $883,180. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. Staff turnover sits at 46.8 percent, slightly above the 45.8 percent national figure, and its last inspection was September 27, 2024. It's a for-profit limited liability company, and all three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 1 out of 5.
La Bella Of Aurora runs 2.93 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time than the typical home, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is the bigger problem: 36 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one tied to abuse, and $274,921 in fines across three events. That April 2025 inspection was recent, so this isn't a stale file. It's a 68-bed for-profit LLC, the kind of operation where low staffing and repeated citations tend to reinforce each other rather than resolve.
Kenwood Vlge Nrsg And Rhb Ctr carries a record that should give any family pause. The home has been cited for 72 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse, findings severe enough to trigger three federal fines totaling $236,838. Nurse staffing sits at 3.16 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 17% below its own weekday level, meaning care thins out exactly when families often visit. Turnover is near the national norm, so the problem isn't churn, it's depth of coverage and a long, serious inspection history.
Nurse staffing at Integrity Hc Of Marion sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 16 percent leaner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 53.4 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people providing care keep changing. The current inspection record carries 56 deficiencies, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $468,729. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was June 16, 2025.
Axiom Healthcare of Harrisburg runs 68 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers behind its federal record are hard to read charitably. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 22% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families are most likely to visit. Annual turnover of 51.5% outpaces the already-high national rate of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection history shows 25 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $92,920 fine and a March 2025 inspection.
Center Home Hispanic Elderly in Chicago carries 77 deficiencies on its current record, 13 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and seven tied to abuse. That's not a paperwork problem. On the staffing side, nurses provide 2.86 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 17 percent thinner than weekdays, so coverage gaps widen exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 45.8 percent, matching the national rate, which means the churn here isn't unusual, but it compounds thin hours. Eight fines totaling $428,860 and a January 2026 inspection round out a record where the pattern is consistent across every measure.
Goldwater Care Danville runs on thin staffing: 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 55.7%, roughly ten points above the national figure, so the people left on the floor are often new. The inspection record backs that up, 78 deficiencies, 12 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 8 tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $494,449. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. The last inspection was April 4, 2025.
Landmark of Oak Lawn runs 143 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 2.74 hours per resident day, roughly 29% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover hits 67% against a national average near 46%, while the current inspection record carries 57 deficiencies, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $308,189. CMS rates the home 1 star on staffing and 2 stars each on health inspections and quality measures, with the most recent inspection dated December 2024. If you're weighing this one, that combination, thin staffing, high turnover, repeat serious deficiencies, deserves hard questions before a move-in.
If you're weighing Sunny Acres for someone in your family, the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 2.96 nurse hours per resident per day, this home runs about a quarter below the national average, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday level. Turnover sits near 65%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record is heavier: 48 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, six tied to abuse, and three fines totaling just under $294,000. The state's most recent look came in March 2025.
El Paso Rehabilitation and Health Care Center carries 73 deficiencies on its current record, including 15 tied to abuse and three serious enough to put residents in immediate harm's way.

Nurse staffing sits at 2.91 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop another 17 percent below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover runs 58.2 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The most recent inspection was January 10, 2025.
Nexus At Alton runs 181 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is stranger than the headline number suggests. Total nurse hours come in around 4.28 per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, but weekends drop about 20% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage depends heavily on when you visit. Annual turnover sits at 81.5% against a national average near 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The inspection record is the harder problem: 87 deficiencies on file, 20 at harm or jeopardy level and 14 abuse-related, with five fines totaling $392,111 and a last inspection in May 2024.
Carlinville Rehab & Hcc runs on 3.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below what the home already provides on weekdays.

At 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 60.6% is well above the 45.8% national figure, so aides are cycling through constantly. The inspection record backs that up: 48 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, twelve tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $294,890, with the most recent inspection in November 2024.
Mattoon Rehab & Hcc runs 148 certified beds as a nonprofit, but the numbers behind its record are rough. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 59.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team left within a year. The current inspection record carries 67 deficiencies, including 8 at harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $175,366. Its last inspection was September 17, 2025. A nonprofit label doesn't guarantee better care here.
Axiom Gardens of Flora is a 97-bed for-profit home in Clay County, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.13 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. Staff turnover runs 69.2 percent against a national average near 46, meaning most of the people caring for your family member are new to the building.
