CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
Patricia Davis owns Astoria Place, a 164-bed nursing home at 6300 North California Avenue in Chicago’s West Ridge neighborhood. Administrator Ezra directs operations. The facility serves Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay residents with an average length of stay of 124 days. Occupancy reaches 90.1%, substantially exceeding the Illinois average of 69.3%. Newsweek named Astoria Place among America’s Best Nursing Homes 2026 and awarded a Gold Seal of Approval for Best Nursing Home 2024.
The facility provides rehabilitation services, respite care, memory care, and 24-hour staffing. Specialized programs include healthcare services, short-term rehabilitation, enrichment activities with concierge service, and Russian and Cantonese language programming. Amenities include a library, family dining room, beauty salon, hospitality rooms, personal storage, and cable television. Services encompass wound care, pain management, neuromuscular therapy, and strength-building programs.
The location ranks 28th statewide for walkability (score 92), permitting daily errands without a car. Ascension Saint Joseph hospital sits 5.36 miles away.
CMS ratings stand at 3 stars overall (19.0% above state), 3 stars for health inspection (8.1% above state), and 4 stars for Quality Measures (42.1% above state); an exceptional outcome.
Staffing rates 3 stars despite complexity in composition: total nursing hours average 2 hours 22 minutes daily (23% below state average), yet registered nurse hours reach 57 minutes daily, 30% above state, with weekend RN coverage at 1 hour daily (76% above state). The 372-person workforce includes 257 contractors (69.1% contractor use).
Functional decline of 12.2 runs 35% better than peers. Walking ability worsens in 6.2% of long-stay residents (66% better). Pressure ulcers affect 3.6% (32% better); urinary tract infections occur in 0.6% (69% better).
Yet depressive symptoms present in 94.8% of long-stay residents; 97% above state average. Hospitalizations run 42% lower than peers, and ED visits run 35% lower.
Short-stay discharge outcomes show strength: 57.9% return successfully to home (14% better), and 67.4% achieve expected self-care ability at discharge (25% better). Falls with major injury remain at 0.0%.
A $7,000 federal penalty was assessed March 27, 2025.
Financial data shows operating loss of $1.7 million with payroll at 33.8% of revenue, which is substantially below well-run benchmarks of 54–67%.
Astoria Place combines strong rehabilitation outcomes and excellent walkability with severe long-stay depression prevalence and ongoing financial deficits.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 137th out of 172 homes in Illinois for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 57m per day | ▲ 31% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 26m per day | ▼ 32% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 1h 53m per day | ▼ 12% State avg: 2h 8m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 11m per day | ▲ 3% State avg: 3h 5m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 2m per day | ▼ 28% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 1h 1m per day | ▲ 80% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
