Oak Crest is a small nonprofit home in DeKalb, just 17 certified beds, which is unusual in a county full of larger operations. Its last full inspection came in September 2024 and turned up seven deficiencies, none of which rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and there's no abuse history on the record. Quality measures and health inspection results both sit at four out of five stars, putting it a notch above the middle of the pack on the federal measures. For a family weighing a move, the picture here is a modest-sized home with a clean harm record and recent state scrutiny, rather than one with documented serious problems or a spotless file.

Alton Memorial Rehab & Therapy sits at 64 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing runs about 18% above the national average at 4.57 hours per resident day. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level, and turnover lands at 50% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care change fairly often. The inspection record is where things get harder to square: 24 deficiencies currently on file, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $15,626. The most recent inspection closed in December 2025, so the picture is current.

The Grove Of Lagrange Park runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes its size, 2.99 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekend shifts slipping a bit further below its own weekday numbers. Staff turnover sits at 51.1%, roughly five points above the national rate, which matters most when it's the aides and nurses who know your mother's routine who keep leaving. On the plus side, its 26 cited deficiencies include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the gap shows.

Lee Manor runs 262 beds in Des Plaines under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.10 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 20% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about another 10% below its own weekday level. Turnover is the bright spot: 27.7% against a national average of 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is current, last survey April 2025, but includes 15 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. A recent four-star health inspection suggests the home corrects problems when cited.

Pavilion Of Ottawa runs 135 certified beds in La Salle County under individual for-profit ownership, and it was inspected recently, August 28, 2025. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none are abuse-related. Staffing sits at 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays. What stands out in the other direction is retention: turnover is 31.7%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. Fewer hands per shift, but steadier ones, worth asking the administrator how they cover weekends.

Thrive Of Lake County runs 2.81 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 26.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who do stay tend to stick around. The inspection record is where the concern lies: 49 deficiencies on file, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $29,734. Its most recent inspection was in March 2025. Family ownership is for-profit and individual. If you're considering this home, ask how the abuse-related findings were resolved and what weekend coverage actually looks like on the floor.

Goldwater Care Spring Valley runs lean on nursing hours, 2.86 per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday staffing. That's the main thing pulling its staffing rating down to 2 out of 5. The counterweight is consistency in the workforce: turnover sits at 32.1%, well under the 45.8% national average, which matters because fewer new faces usually means residents see familiar caregivers. Inspections came back strong at 4 out of 5 stars, with 23 deficiencies on record but none tied to harm or abuse, and the most recent visit was in February 2025. Quality measures land mid-range at 3 stars.

Bella Terra Streamwood runs 214 beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it, a five-star health inspection rating with the most recent visit in March 2025. But 16 deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. Staffing tells the other half of the story: 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends running about 3% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 44%, essentially in line with the national figure. Strong surveys paired with thin daily coverage is the tension here.

Bella Terra Elmhurst runs 142 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, about 3% above the national average, and weekends hold roughly even with weekdays, a small but real point in its favor, since many homes thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the weak spot: 49.2% of staff leave annually, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involved abuse; the last full inspection was March 2024. Strong marks on health inspections and quality measures, weaker on staffing stability.

Inspections are current, March 2025, with 29 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly.

Turnover sits at 41.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was February 2025. Quality measures score well, but the inspection and staffing picture is where the concern lives.

Turnover sits at 37.5 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the home was inspected recently, in April 2025, coming away with a top health inspection rating and 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level. One of those is abuse-related, which a family should ask about directly. For-profit, LLC-owned, 62 beds.

Allure Of Stockton runs 49 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.89 nurse hours per resident day, barely above the 3.86 national average, with weekends running about 8% leaner than weekdays. The CMS staffing rating of 2 out of 5 reflects that thin margin. What stands out more is retention: 19% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. Inspections from June 2024 produced 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, earning 4 of 5 stars on health inspections. The quality measure rating sits at 3. So you have a stable, recently inspected home with a clean harm record but staffing you'd want to ask about on weekends.

Litchfield Health & Rehab Center runs 92 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 2.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 16% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 34.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections look solid, a 4/5 health inspection rating, most recent visit in March 2025, and no abuse deficiencies, though the record does show nine deficiencies total, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. Families weighing this one should ask specifically how the weekend floor is covered.

Loft Rehab Of East Peoria runs 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15 percent below its own weekday coverage. That thin staffing is the main reason its CMS staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, even though inspections (5/5) and quality measures (5/5) look strong, with the last inspection in October 2024. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related. Turnover at 45% is essentially the national rate. For-profit corporate ownership. If your family member needs steady hands on weekends, ask how the floor is actually covered.

The Pearl of Elgin runs on 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, about 18 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13 percent below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage is the main reason its staffing rating sits at 2 out of 5, even though resident outcomes look strong on paper with a 5 out of 5 quality measure score. Turnover of 40.2 percent is actually better than the national 45.8 percent, so the issue isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled at once. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, with the last state visit in August 2024.

Alpine Fireside runs a for-profit corporation home of 66 beds in Rockford, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength, 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, with weekends dipping only about 5% below weekdays. Turnover still sits at 49%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so the hours are there even if the faces change.

The most recent inspection was December 10, 2025.

Friendship Manor runs a nonprofit home with 94 beds in Rock Island, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.91 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Weekends thin out about 16% below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then.

What pulls the record down is the quality measure side, which scores 1 out of 5, plus 14 deficiencies on file, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, and a single $10,519 fine.
