Overview of Westminster Village Al

Westminster Village is a 72-bed nonprofit senior living community in Bloomington, Illinois, offering a continuum of care that spans independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing through its on-site Health Center. The community is 0.2 miles from Bloomington’s city center and is operated by Matthew Riehle on behalf of a nonprofit organization. The facility carries a 4-star CMS overall rating, 27% above the Illinois average. Staffing is the standout figure: nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 51 minutes per resident per day, ranking 20th among 167 Illinois skilled nursing facilities and placing staffing 50.2% above the state average. RN staffing alone is 84% above the Illinois benchmark. The facility’s occupancy rate is 96%, well above the statewide average of 69.3%, signaling consistent demand. Inspection history reflects steady improvement. The most recent survey, completed December 2, 2025, found the facility in full compliance with no deficiencies. The prior annual inspection in January 2025 cited two service-plan documentation gaps — an unaddressed wound-care entry and a fall-risk update — and two complaint investigations in 2025 each yielded one deficiency related to service-plan completeness and incident-notification timing. No fines, Immediate Jeopardy findings, or license actions appear in the inspection record. Westminster Village’s living options include independent apartments, The Willows Duplexes, a dedicated memory care unit, and on-campus rehabilitation and wellness services. The continuum model allows residents to transition across care levels without leaving the community. Westminster Village is best suited for older adults and families planning ahead for multiple stages of care — particularly those who want memory care or skilled nursing available on the same campus as independent and assisted living

Does Illinois Medicaid cover assisted living?

Illinois Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Illinois) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
