Fourteen Illinois Nursing Homes Rate Poorly on New Medicare Rating System
On December 18, 2008, Medicare launched its new quality rating system in which nursing homes and other care facilities are rated on a one to five star basis based on health inspections, staffing, and quality care measures. Nursing care issues concerned the storage of food and residents suffering from fevers, falls, or pressure sores.
Illinois nursing homes that scored an overall rating of "1" on the new system are: Eldercare of Alton, VIP Manor of Wood River, Edwardsville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Granite City Nursing and Rehabilitation, Eden Village Care Center, Willow Rose Rehabilitation and Health Care of Jerseyville, Maryville Manor of Maryville, Jerseyville Manor of Jerseyville, Alhambra Care Center of Alhambra, Helia Healthcare of Belleville, The Lincoln Home of Belleville, Calvin Johnson Care Center of Belleville, Pleasant Hill Health Care of Girard, and Stearns Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of Granite City.
