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.
