ARCADIA CARE AUBURN
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Arcadia Care Auburn has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns and a very poor standing. Ranked #441 out of 665 facilities in Illinois, they are in the bottom half, and #6 out of 8 in Sangamon County, meaning there are only two better options locally. The facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 8 in 2024 to 9 in 2025. Staffing is a weakness, with only a 1/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 51%, which is above the state average, suggesting instability in care. They have serious financial concerns with $133,515 in fines, which is higher than 85% of facilities in the state, reflecting ongoing compliance problems. Additionally, there are significant incidents reported, including a failure to report and prevent abuse, which allowed one resident to be harmed by a staff member. In another critical finding, the facility neglected to maintain safe room temperatures, exposing residents to potentially dangerous heat conditions. While they have some RN coverage, it is less than 94% of state facilities, meaning residents may not receive the level of oversight needed. Overall, families should weigh these serious concerns against any potential strengths before considering this facility.

- Staff Stability ⚠ Watch
- 51% turnover. Above average. Higher turnover means staff may not know residents' routines.

About This Facility
What is Arcadia Care Auburn's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns ARCADIA CARE AUBURN an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much below average nationally. Within Illinois, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Arcadia Care Auburn Staffed?
CMS rates ARCADIA CARE AUBURN's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 51%, compared to the Illinois average of 46%.
What Have Inspectors Found at Arcadia Care Auburn?
State health inspectors documented 46 deficiencies at ARCADIA CARE AUBURN during 2022 to 2025. These included: 6 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 6 that caused actual resident harm, and 34 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Arcadia Care Auburn?
ARCADIA CARE AUBURN is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by ARCADIA CARE, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 70 certified beds and approximately 56 residents (about 80% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in AUBURN, Illinois.
How Does Arcadia Care Auburn Compare to Other Illinois Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Illinois, ARCADIA CARE AUBURN's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.5, staff turnover (51%) is near the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Arcadia Care Auburn?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the substantiated abuse finding on record, and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Arcadia Care Auburn Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, ARCADIA CARE AUBURN has documented safety concerns. The facility has 1 substantiated abuse finding (meaning confirmed case of resident harm by staff or other residents). Inspectors have issued 6 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Illinois. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Arcadia Care Auburn Stick Around?
ARCADIA CARE AUBURN has a staff turnover rate of 51%, which is 5 percentage points above the Illinois average of 46%. Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.
Was Arcadia Care Auburn Ever Fined?
ARCADIA CARE AUBURN has been fined $133,515 across 3 penalty actions. This is 3.9x the Illinois average of $34,414. Fines at this level are uncommon and typically indicate a pattern of serious deficiencies, repeated violations, or failure to correct problems promptly. CMS reserves penalties of this magnitude for facilities that pose significant, documented risk to resident health or safety. Families should request specific documentation of what issues led to these fines and what systemic changes have been implemented.
Is Arcadia Care Auburn on Any Federal Watch List?
ARCADIA CARE AUBURN 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.
