Every nursing home CMS records under this group, and how the portfolio performs as a whole. Consistency
across a group says more about an operator than any single building.
Citadel Care Center-Wilmette runs 80 beds in Cook County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is strong: four deficiencies on file, none involving harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, and a recent survey in April 2026. Quality measures also score at the top of CMS's scale. The staffing picture is more mixed. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover of 26.8% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a relatively stable crew despite the leaner hours.
Nurse staffing at this Glenview home runs about 12 percent under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13 percent below its own weekday coverage, a gap families often feel when they visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover tells the opposite story: 28 percent against a national average near 46 percent, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections back that up. The state surveyed the building in July 2025 and found 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. For a for-profit LLC with 135 beds, the record is steady but thinly staffed.
Citadel At Casa Scalabrini runs 229 beds in Northlake under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday numbers, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 39.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are more likely to stick around. The inspection record is the harder part: 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit in March 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are where the gaps show.
Amberwood Care Centre runs 135 certified beds in Rockford under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers tell a split story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, though turnover at 28.4% is well below the national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay. Inspections look strong: four stars for health inspections and quality measures, last surveyed September 2024, with 41 deficiencies on record but none at the harm or jeopardy level. One abuse-related citation is there. The staffing star rating of 1/5 is the number worth asking about directly.
Waterford Care Center runs on 2.96 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% beneath its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at 2 out of 5. The inspection record lists 40 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection was in January 2026, so that picture is current rather than stale. Turnover is the one bright spot at 25.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure. For-profit corporate ownership, 141 beds, and a recent inspection make this a home to ask hard questions about.
Citadel of Northbrook runs 158 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 3.55 per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekday coverage. That thin weekend margin matters more than the headline number, since it's when families tend to visit and when problems surface. Staff turnover sits at 32.4%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. The inspection record is: 26 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $25,126 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current.
Citadel At Saint Benedict runs 99 certified beds in Niles under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is the weak spot: 3.53 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection history carries real weight too, 12 deficiencies on record, four at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $64,531. Turnover at 41% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection in May 2025 is fairly current. What pulls the numbers down is what happens between inspections: thinner weekend coverage and a citation record that includes harm-level findings.
Warren Park runs lean on the floor: 2.56 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 9% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing shortfall sits alongside 35 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus a $37,668 fine. The counterweight is stability, 24.4% turnover is well under the 45.8% national figure, and the December 2025 inspection is recent. With 127 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, ask directly how many nurses are on duty on a Saturday evening before you decide.
Citadel Care Center-Kankakee runs 107 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 33.7%, which is better than the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in November 2024. Federal ratings split sharply here: four stars for health inspections, two for quality measures and two for staffing.
Citadel of Skokie runs lean on nursing hours, 2.73 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits alongside 19 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. The ownership is a for-profit corporation, and the fines add up to $27,891 across three penalties. One thing runs in the home's favor: staff turnover of 28.6% beats the national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay. But stable staff can only stretch so far when there are too few of them, and the harm-level findings suggest the margin for error has already been crossed.
Citadel Of Sterling runs 121 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17% below the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday numbers, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Turnover is 31.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the harder read: 25 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus one fine of $11,213. A May 2025 inspection is recent enough to be current. Low staffing and that deficiency count together explain the weak marks.
Pa Peterson At The Citadel runs about 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends dip another 6% below its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the staffing rating: 1 out of 5. Annual turnover sits at 59.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are changing often. The current record lists 63 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with one fine of $21,212. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection and 4/5 quality measure ratings suggest some clinical care is tracked well, but the staffing numbers and deficiency history are what a family should ask about directly.
The Citadel of Bourbonnais runs a 107-bed for-profit operation where the staffing numbers are the real story. At 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends dip another 13% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.1% is well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care are cycling through faster than average.
Inspectors last visited in September 2024 and turned up 21 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. The 4/5 inspection rating and 2/5 quality measures don't offset a 1/5 staffing score.
Hopewell Grove runs on 3.25 nurse hours per resident per day, about 16% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below what the building manages Monday through Friday. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 45 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and a $32,380 fine, all inspected as recently as February 2026. Staff turnover sits at 46.4%, essentially the national rate, so the churn isn't the outlier here, the shortfall in hands-on time is. For-profit corporate ownership, 100 beds, and a one-star inspection history. Ask about weekday-to-weekend staffing before you visit.
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.
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.
