The short answer
Record last released by Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) on Oct 15, 2026.
- Not rated by Medicare: CMS rates only the providers it certifies, and this one isn’t Medicare-certified
- Not read what inspectors found: the state’s list doesn’t carry it
Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.
What these words mean7
- Not read
- The file this site reads doesn’t carry what inspectors found, so nothing is counted here. It doesn’t mean the place has a clean record: the state’s own site may have its reports. Source: How this site reads each source.
- Star ratings
- CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System.
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
- Scope and severity (A to L)
- CMS grades each nursing home deficiency with a letter. A to C: no actual harm, with potential for minimal harm. D to F: no actual harm, but potential for more. G to I: actual harm. J to L: immediate jeopardy. Within each band, the letter rises as more residents were affected or could be: one or a few, a pattern, or widespread. Source: CMS, nursing home scope and severity grid (State Operations Manual, chapter 7).
- Nurse staffing hours
- The hours registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and nurse aides worked, per resident per day, from the payroll records each home sends CMS. Source: CMS, Payroll-Based Journal.
- Fines and payment denials
- A fine (civil money penalty) is money CMS makes a nursing home pay when it falls short of federal rules. A payment denial means Medicare and Medicaid stop paying for new admissions until the home meets the rules again. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.430 and 488.417.
What did inspectors find?
- IDPH’s list carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. IDPH inspects the long-term care facilities it licenses; CMS’s inspection files cover only the nursing homes Medicare or Medicaid certifies, which this one isn’t.
Is it licensed, or certified?
- Skilled nursing facility, licensed by Illinois’s Department of Public Health (IDPH).
- IDPH’s list gives it no CMS Certification Number (CCN), so it isn’t Medicare-certified. CMS’s files list only the nursing homes Medicare certifies, so no CMS CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System., survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
- Beds on its licence: 19 skilled nursing and 42 sheltered care.
- IDPH’s list gives its licence as effective Aug 1, 2026, expiring Jul 31, 2027.
- IDPH’s Facility ID: 6008692.
- Licensee ID in IDPH’s list: 0005918.

How do residents fare?
- CMS rates only Medicare-certified nursing homes, so no CMS rating is shown here; Illinois publishes no rating in this list.
How does it compare nearby?
- Not compared: CMS’s measures cover only the nursing homes Medicare certifies, and this state’s list publishes no measure of its own to compare.
What the record doesn’t say
- Illinois licenses every nursing home, and IDPH’s list of the long-term care facilities it licenses gives each its CMS Certification Number (CCN) where it has one. This page is one it gives none, and that CMS’s files don’t hold by its name or its street either: so no CMS rating or inspection covers it. The list is a file IDPH’s Freedom of Information officer sent on Oct 20, 2026, checked against CMS’s files when it was taken in.
- CMS’s files list only the nursing homes Medicare certifies, so no CMS star rating, survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
- IDPH’s list carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. IDPH inspects the long-term care facilities it licenses; CMS’s inspection files cover only the nursing homes Medicare or Medicaid certifies, which this one isn’t.
- IDPH’s licensing portal has each facility’s current licence: search it by the facility’s name.
