LAKEFRONT NURSING & REHAB CTR

7618 NORTH SHERIDAN ROAD, CHICAGO, IL 60626

Decent. LAKEFRONT NURSING & REHAB CTR brings a 4.0-star CMS rating, strong inspection scores (4.0/5), high quality measure scores (4.0/5), 0.78 RN hours per resident daily, and low staff turnover (8%) — Palmelle trust score 64/100. There are 1 federal fine(s) on record — no date context, so worth asking about directly. Worth asking: This facility has received 1 federal fine(s) but still shows a 4.0-star overall rating. Federal penalties are serious — they indicate violations found during inspections. A high rating alongside recent penalties warrants extra scrutiny. Worth asking: This facility's long-stay antipsychotic rate is 58% — roughly three times the national median of about 14%. CMS already excludes residents with schizophrenia, Tourette's, and Huntington's from this measure, so this reflects prescribing for residents who don't have a primary psychotic diagnosis. Worth asking on a tour: 'How does my parent get back off these meds if started?'. Worth asking: Long-stay depressive-symptoms rate is 98.5% — above the national median of about 10%. Often indicates residents are alone in rooms with no activities program or social engagement. Pairs with mobility decline. Worth asking how many group activities residents actually attend per week. Worth asking: Pressure ulcer rate is 1.1% — under half the national median. Means the floor staff are repositioning residents on schedule and catching skin breakdown early. Hands-on attention shows up in this number. Worth asking: Falls with major injury rate is 1.1% — well below the national median. Call lights are getting answered fast and aides are present during transfer-heavy hours. This is a hard number to keep low. Worth asking: Annual nursing staff turnover is 8% — well below the industry average of 50-60%. The same caregivers are coming back week after week, which means residents see familiar faces who know their preferences and history. Continuity of care is one of the biggest invisible quality signals.

Decent. WARREN BARR GOLD COAST brings a 4.0-star CMS rating, high quality measure scores (5.0/5), and 1.17 RN hours per resident daily — Palmelle trust score 44/100. There are 2 federal fine(s) on record — no date context, so worth asking about directly. Worth asking: This facility has received 2 federal fine(s) but still shows a 4.0-star overall rating. Federal penalties are serious — they indicate violations found during inspections. A high rating alongside recent penalties warrants extra scrutiny. Worth asking: Pressure ulcer (bedsore) rate is 10.3% — well above the national median of about 7%. Pressure ulcers form when staff don't reposition residents every two hours. This is a staffing-and-attention signal as much as a clinical one. Worth asking what the repositioning schedule looks like.

Worth asking: Falls with major injury rate is 1.3% — well below the national median. Call lights are getting answered fast and aides are present during transfer-heavy hours. This is a hard number to keep low. Worth asking: Registered nurse coverage is 1.17 hours per resident per day — well above the recommended minimum of 0.75 and on par with high-end facilities. More RN time means complex medical changes get caught before they become emergency room trips.

Hmm. PRINCETON REHAB & HCC has a critical flag: cms has placed an abuse icon on this facility, indicating a substantiated finding of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a resident. Palmelle trust score is 5/100. To be fair: high quality measure scores (4.0/5). Worth asking: Long-stay depressive-symptoms rate is 21.5% — above the national median of about 10%. Often indicates residents are alone in rooms with no activities program or social engagement. Pairs with mobility decline. Worth asking how many group activities residents actually attend per week. Worth asking: Falls with major injury rate is 0.9% — well below the national median. Call lights are getting answered fast and aides are present during transfer-heavy hours. This is a hard number to keep low. Dig into the full report before visiting.
