Avantara Evergreen Park, a 242-bed skilled nursing facility in Evergreen Park’s South Kedzie Avenue neighborhood, serves primarily short-stay rehabilitation residents across a private-pay-weighted population (66 percent), with an average stay of 48 days. Menachem Berger owns the facility; Chaim Rajchenbach serves as administrator. The Joint Commission awarded Avantara Evergreen Park a Gold Seal of Approval.
Situated in Cook County, 1.03 miles from OSF Little Company of Mary Medical Center.
The facility’s compliance record shows severe strain. State inspectors conducted 19 health inspections since 2023, documenting 71 deficiencies; that’s nearly ten times the Illinois statewide average and at a rate of 23.7 per year. The September 2025 inspection found the facility failed to promptly recognize and transfer a resident with sepsis symptoms, resulting in delayed hospitalization, septic shock, and pneumonia. Earlier investigations substantiated failures across resident transfers, fall prevention protocols, pressure ulcer management, and supervision.
The facility faces 13 serious citations (typical Illinois facilities average 3.6) and has paid federal penalties totaling $353,000 in five separate enforcement actions since August 2023.
An arrest of a staff member for resident theft and financial abuse occurred in 2024.
Nursing staffing averages 2 hours 40 minutes per resident daily; which is 32 percent below Illinois benchmarks and ranked 99th among 167 state facilities. Despite these pressures, the facility offers on-site dialysis, cardiac rehabilitation, orthopedic services, and transitional rehabilitation.
Accommodations include private and semi-private suites, community gathering spaces, on-site salon services, and facility-wide high-speed Wi-Fi.
Quality measures and clinical outcomes trail state standards across most domains.
Avantara Evergreen Park is structured for short-term rehabilitation placements, with a 48-day average length of stay and a resident population dominated by private-pay and Medicare admissions.
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 103rd 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.
| 50m per day | ▲ 14% 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.
| 50m per day | ▲ 31% 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 51m per day | ▼ 13% 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 17m per day | ▲ 6% 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.
| 3m per day | ▼ 10% 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.
| 47m per day | ▲ 40% 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."
