University Place in West Lafayette runs a small 30-bed home with church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers stand out. At 7.02 nurse hours per resident day, it's roughly 82% above the national average of 3.86, more than double the typical direct care. Turnover sits at 39.3%, below the 45.8% national figure, and weekend staffing dips only about 5% from weekdays, which is a mild drop. The trade-off is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, one at the harm level, with a 3-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was in November 2025. Quality measures rate 4 stars. You're getting a well-staffed home with a longer-than-ideal deficiency list, though nothing abuse-related.

Addolorata Villa sits in Wheeling with 86 certified beds and a church-affiliated nonprofit owner. Staffing is the standout number: 4.97 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 10% below weekdays and turnover at 19% against a national 45.8%. That kind of retention usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. The inspection record is where it gets harder to read. Twenty-five deficiencies are on file, including eight at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $161,411. The most recent inspection was January 2026. Strong staffing, real quality marks, but a citation history a family should ask about directly.

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.

St. Joseph Village has a real staffing story to tell, 4.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and CMS gives it 5 out of 5 stars for that. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 57.1% annual turnover runs well past the national 45.8%, and 19 deficiencies on record include 2 at the harm level, though none involve abuse. A June 2024 inspection and 4 inspection stars suggest the building is watched closely. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, 54 beds.

Franciscan Village runs on the nonprofit side of things in Lemont, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday may not match what you'd see on a Tuesday. The recurring problems show up in the inspection record: 29 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to cause actual harm, and two fines totaling $44,220. Staff turnover of 48.2% is slightly above the national rate, which usually means hiring and retraining costs that don't show up on a spreadsheet. Your best question for the administrator is how those three harm-level deficiencies were resolved, and what weekend coverage actually looks like.

Mt Alverna runs 153 beds as a nonprofit in Parma, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.88 hours per resident day against 3.86. That sounds fine until you notice weekends run about 10 percent thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your relative gets Saturday may not match Tuesday. The inspection record is the bigger question: 27 deficiencies on file, four tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Staff turnover of 48.8 percent tops the national 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses cycle through fairly often. A December 2024 inspection is recent, at least, so the picture is current.
