ALHAMBRA REHAB & HEALTHCARE
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Alhambra Rehab & Healthcare has received a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice among nursing homes. They rank #6 out of 665 facilities in Illinois, placing them in the top half, and they are the best option out of 17 in Madison County. The facility is improving, having reduced their issues from 10 in 2024 to 0 in 2025, which is a positive trend. However, staffing is a concern, with a 100% turnover rate, significantly higher than the state average, and they only have average RN coverage. While there have been no fines, which is reassuring, recent inspections revealed that the facility failed to maintain adequate RN staffing on multiple days and did not properly store medications, including expired ones, raising potential health risks for residents.

Is Alhambra Rehab & Healthcare Safe?

Do Nurses at Alhambra Rehab & Healthcare Stick Around?
Staff turnover at ALHAMBRA REHAB & HEALTHCARE is high. At 100%, the facility is 53 percentage points above the Illinois average of 47%.

How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Alhambra Rehab & Healthcare Ever Fined?

The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Alhambra Rehab & Healthcare on Any Federal Watch List?
ALHAMBRA REHAB & HEALTHCARE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
