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 most recent inspection on September 7, 2025, identified deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to promptly transfer a resident showing signs of sepsis, which resulted in hospitalization with septic shock and pneumonia. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues primarily involving resident transfer protocols, fall prevention, pressure ulcer care, and supervision, with multiple complaint investigations substantiating failures in these areas. Inspectors cited problems such as inadequate mechanical lift use, incomplete care plans for transfers, insufficient fall prevention measures, and lapses in timely communication with families and physicians. Several complaint investigations involved resident injuries from falls and financial abuse, with one staff member arrested for theft; enforcement actions or fines were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with resident safety and care coordination, with no clear trend of sustained improvement.
