CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
Positioned in downtown Chicago’s walkable Gold Coast neighborhood, Warren Barr Gold Coast operates as a 271-bed skilled nursing facility serving a balanced population of short-term rehabilitation and longer-stay residents. The Jack Rajchenbach Family Trust owns the community; Kate administers day-to-day operations.
With an average resident stay of 47 days and incoming admissions split nearly equally between Medicare (48 percent) and private-pay (48 percent) patients, the facility balances acute post-hospital transitions alongside extended care needs.
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital sits 0.5 miles away.
CMS health inspections place the facility 8.1 percent above state performance, with an overall rating 19 percent higher than the Illinois average. Long-stay quality measures earn a 5-star CMS rating; hospitalizations run 26 percent below state averages. Joint Commission awarded both Gold Seal of Approval for Post-Acute Care and Nursing Care Accreditation; the facility earned recognition as Best Nursing Home 2024.
Registered nurses average 1 hour 9 minutes per resident daily, nearly 60 percent above Illinois benchmarks. Weekend RN presence, at 1 hour 10 minutes per resident, more than doubles the state norm, reflecting intentional coverage outside standard business hours. Physical therapy runs at 6 minutes per resident per day, double the state average. The facility fields 124 RNs, 58 LPNs, and 141 CNAs, yielding a staff-to-resident ratio 14 percent better than the state benchmark.
Operating financials show a $2.5 million loss against $53 million in gross revenue. Federal enforcement is light: $27,000 in cumulative fines across three actions; 81 percent below the state average.
Eight specialized programs address post-acute complexity: orthopedic and cardiac rehabilitation, post-transplant management, peritoneal dialysis, LVAD support, pulmonary care, and specialized wound management.
The facility serves short-term rehabilitation and complex post-acute care placements where specialized programming and elevated clinical staffing are operational priorities.
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 74th 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.
| 1h 10m per day | ▲ 59% 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.
| 32m per day | ▼ 15% 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.
| 2h 14m per day | ▲ 5% 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 49m per day | ▲ 24% 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.
| 6m per day | ▲ 115% 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.
| 1h 12m per day | ▲ 112% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). 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."
