Abuse icon on record

Irving Park Living & Rehab runs 117 beds on Chicago's northwest side, and the staffing math is the first thing worth knowing: 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 15% lighter than weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record, 52 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, from a January 2025 visit. Turnover at 38.6% actually beats the national rate, so the problem isn't retention. It's how few hands are scheduled. One fine of $10,358 is on file.

Abuse icon on record

Fargo Health Care Center runs lean on the floor: 2.83 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 42 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $245,827 and a survey as recent as August 2025. Staff turnover at 20.3% is genuinely better than the 45.8% national figure, and quality measures score well, but a for-profit LLC structure with that staffing and deficiency history makes the tradeoff clear.

South Elgin Living & Rehab Center runs on 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are when families tend to visit. That's the tension here: staff turnover of 24.5% is unusually low against a 45.8% national figure, yet 58 deficiencies sit on the current record, including four at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $230,403 in fines. The last inspection was May 2024. Consistent caregivers matter, but they're working inside a for-profit operation whose inspection history has been the persistent problem.

Abuse icon on record

Atrium Health Care Center runs on thin nursing coverage, 2.54 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters because direct care is what residents actually feel. The inspection record backs it up: 54 deficiencies, 8 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 17 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $163,637. Turnover at 25.3% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which is a real point in its favor for continuity of care. But a for-profit LLC with a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating leaves little cushion when someone calls in sick on a Saturday.

Sandwich Living & Rehab Center

Staff turnover

Sandwich Living & Rehab Center runs short on nursing hours, about 3.34 per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips another 8% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing shows up against a 56.3% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are frequently new or on their way out. The inspection record is the harder read: 71 deficiencies on file, 12 serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, 10 tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $285,025. One star each for staffing and health inspections, with a state survey as recent as December 2024.
