Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the average nursing home staffing level in Chicago?
- Chicago nursing homes in this CMS data sample average 3.12 total nursing hours per resident per day (HPRD), with 0.77 RN HPRD. The Illinois state average is 3.68 HPRD and the U.S. national average is 3.89 HPRD.
- How do I choose a nursing home in Chicago?
- Start with the CMS staffing star rating (target 4–5 stars) and total HPRD above 3.89. Check RN HPRD (target ≥ 1.0), weekend staffing levels, staff turnover (below 30% is excellent), and penalty/fine history. Request a tour and ask about staff-to-resident ratios on evenings and weekends specifically.
- Does Medicaid cover nursing homes in Chicago?
- Yes — Illinois Medicaid covers skilled nursing facility care for eligible residents. You must meet income and asset limits and receive a level-of-care determination. Check our Medicaid eligibility tool for Illinois-specific limits and the look-back period.
