An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on January 12, 2026, found the facility in compliance with Illinois Assisted Living and Shared Housing regulations and identified no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed some deficiencies related to staffing levels, updating resident service plans, and employee training on dementia programming. Inspectors cited issues with meeting staffing needs, maintaining current service plans that integrate outside services, and ensuring new employees completed required dementia training. A substantiated complaint investigation found that outdated service plans contributed to multiple falls for one resident, including a fall causing a femur fracture. The facility appears to have addressed these concerns over time, with the latest inspection indicating improvement.
