Bridge Care Suites
Bridge Care Suites is a nursing home in Springfield, IL offering nursing care, skilled nursing, hospice care, and respite care. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while hospice care supports residents with end-of-life needs.
Respite care provides a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover, so the range of services can accommodate changing care needs or caregiving arrangements. The home has 75 beds, with 3 hours and 52 minutes of nursing time available per resident each day across the nursing staff. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted: Medicare covers short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence, Medicaid can help when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay allows a family to pay directly.

Fine amount comparison
Totals count every penalty on record; the history lists the past 3 years. Illinois and US averages are among facilities with a penalty on record.
A civil money penalty is a fine for noncompliance, per day or per instance. A payment denial stops Medicare/Medicaid payments for new residents until issues are fixed.
