Overview

Stonebridge Nursing & Rehab in Benton, Illinois, has a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average and sits in the middle of the pack compared to other facilities. It ranks #290 out of 665 in the state, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 4 in Franklin County, indicating only one local option is better. Unfortunately, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 2 in 2025. Staffing is a significant concern, as it received a poor 1/5 star rating, and the turnover rate is alarming at 100%, much higher than the state average of 46%. There have been no fines reported, which is a positive sign, but RN coverage is below average, with less coverage than 77% of facilities statewide, meaning residents may not receive the level of oversight they need. Specific incidents highlight some serious concerns: one resident fell out of bed and fractured a femur due to inadequate staff assistance, and another resident experienced delays in receiving necessary help, waiting over an hour despite having their call light on. Overall, while there are strengths in health inspections, the staffing deficiencies and recent incidents raise significant red flags for families considering this facility for their loved ones.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain and implement physician orders for wound care for 1 (R1) of 3 residents reviewed for wound care in the sample of 9. The findings include: R1's admission Record documented R1 was admitted to this nursing home on 9/20/2022 with diagnosis of stroke with right sided paralysis. R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R1 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 01, indicating R1 has severe cognitive impairment. This MDS also documented R1 has one Stage IV Pressure Ulcer that was present on admission. R1's admission assessment titled Admit/Readmit Screener, dated 4/26/25 documented R1 was admitted via wheelchair from hospital and had a pressure area to his coccyx. There were no measurements or description of the wound documented on the Admit/Readmit screener or the nurse progress notes. R1's Order Summary Report with active orders as of 5/30/25 documented there were no orders for wound care from 4/26/25 until 5/2/25. R1's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated 4/1/30-4/30/25 indicated there were no treatments ordered for R1's coccyx wound to be done beginning on 4/26/25. The same TAR dated 5/1/25-5/30/25 documented a treatment to begin on 5/2/25 of cleanse area to sacrum (coccyx) then apply manukah honey absorbent dressing and cover with silicone border dressing every night shift for wound care. On 6/3/25 at 11:23am, V11 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) said he was working on 4/26/25 when R1 returned to the facility from the hospital. V11 said that R1 had a wound on his sacrum/coccyx upon re-admission. V11 said all he was told from the out of state hospital that R1 was discharged from was that R1 had a non-blanchable area to coccyx. V11 said the wound had a wadded up dressing on it and the middle was deeper. V11 said he wasn't sure about the stage of the wound. V11 said they started off with Silvadene and calcium alginate dressing. V11 said that he believes either the doctor or the nurse practitioner okayed the calcium alginate, he does not remember. V11 said he did pass it on in report and thinks he wrote it on the 24-hour shift report. V11 said that V9 (Registered Nurse/RN) was helping him since he was new to the facility. On 6/3/25 at 2:55pm, V7 (LPN/Infection Preventionist/IP) said that R1 came back to the facility on 4/26/25 with the sacrum/coccyx wound. V7 said that the nurse that admitted R1 should have documented a wound note with measurements and R1 would have been seen the following Thursday. V7 said she was not notified about the wound on the sacrum/coccyx until 4/28/25. V7 said she got the order for treatments on the coccyx wound on 5/2/25. On 6/4/25 at 9:35am, V10 (RN) said she worked day shift on 4/27/25. V10 says it's usually after around 10am when she starts her treatments. V10 said that R1 did not have a treatment on the TAR to be done. V10 said she knew he came back with a wound and when she saw there was not a treatment, she knew it had to be cleaned. V10 said she went with what the wound doctor always orders which is cleanse, apply Silvadene, calcium alginate and cover with dry dressing. On 6/4/25 at 10:03am, V8 (RN) said that R1 had an area on his behind and when she looked at the TAR there was no treatment listed on there. V8 said she would never leave a wound without a dressing, and they had been putting Silvadene, calcium alginate and dry dressing on it. V8 said she does not remember if it was on the 24-hour report sheet or not. On 6/4/25 at 11:08am, V5 (Physician) said he thought he remembered staff calling for wound orders. V5 said he figured he would go ahead and do something until the wound physician could see R1. V5 said he thought he ordered calcium alginate with dry dressing, which is what wound care generally does. V5 said he does not remember which nurse called him. On 6/4/25 at 11:15am, V9 (RN) said she was told about R1's wound and did look at it. V9 said she put a treatment on it, cleansed, applied Silvadene, calcium alginate and a dry dressing. V9 said it was very hectic and she may have not put a note in on it. V9 said she also put in the order, she just wanted to put something on it. V9 said she didn't remember which doctor ordered it. On 6/5/25 at 11:46am, V14 (RN) stated that she worked the night of 4/26/25 after R1 had returned from the hospital earlier that day. V14 said there was no open area on R1's coccyx before he went to the hospital. V14 said she tries to do her treatments in the evenings after her medication pass, but V11 (LPN) took care of it on days so she didn't have to do it. V14 said an order will show on the TAR if she has to do one, but this happened with R1 a long time ago. V14 then said that an order did pop up for R1 to cleanse, apply Silvadene cream and apply calcium alginate and cover the wound with dry dressing. V11 said if the order was not put in, it would not show up for her to do. V14 said that usually it goes on the 24-hour shift report, but she does not remember if she put it on there or not. V14 said she also worked on 5/1/25 and she did a treatment on R1's wound but does not remember if it showed on the TAR for her to do. V14 said that R1 was able to make his needs known. V14 said she got to where she could understand R1, or he would shake his head yes or no. Facility Policy labeled Telephone Orders (undated) documents Verbal telephone orders may only be received by licensed personnel (e.g. (for example) RN, LPN, pharmacist, physician).

This same MDS documents R55's Functional Status as requiring extensive assistance x 2 person physical assist with bed mobility. On 10/17/2022, at 8:50 a.m., R55 stated that on 6/27/2022, V23 (Registered Nurse/RN) came into her room to do her treatment on her bottom. R55 stated that V23 assisted in rolling her on her right side toward the wall. R55 stated she and V23 were the only ones in the room. R55 stated V23 turned away from her to get her treatment supplies and at that time, R55 stated the bed started to move away from the wall and before she could tell V23, she had fallen out of the bed onto the floor face-first between the wall and the bed. R55 stated that she started to have severe pain in her left leg and hit her head on the floor. R55 stated that V23 ran out of the room and V7 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) came back into the room and looked her over.

V7 stated that there were no other people in the room when she entered to help V23 with R55. V7 stated that R55 was located between the bed and the wall when she and V23 repositioned R55 on her back. R55's medical records documents on 6/27/2022, at 4:20 p.m., local hospital history and physical, under section, Patient's Chief Complaint: Fall .Patient presented to local hospital emergency department due to fall. She states she has chronic wounds on her sacrum in dependent areas for which she was attempting to get wound care today. She states that she was rolled over and that the bed was not locked and slid away from the wall causing her to fall between the bed and the wall. Further x-rays and computed tomography (CT) revealed left distal femur comminuted fracture. Ortho was consulted and she will be admitted for further workup and treatment. Signed by V24 (local physician). R55's medical records, titled After Visit Summary dated 6/29/2022, under section, Surgical/Procedural Cases on This Admission, Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF), fracture, femur using intramedullary implant and interlocking screw by V26 (local surgeon).

On 10/18/2022 at 10:39am, V15, V17 and V18 (Certified Nursing Assistants) all said the facility is very short of staff and it is hard to complete all showers scheduled. V17 said she's worked at this facility for 2-3 years and she has always felt 3 care staff on the evening shift is not enough staff to provide all the care the residents need. V17 said it didn't used to be like that but has been for several months now. V15, V17 and V18 all said they can not complete the scheduled showers due to not having enough time or not enough staff, but they are doing the best they can.

Is Stonebridge Nursing & Rehab Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, STONEBRIDGE NURSING & REHAB has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes).

While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.

Do Nurses at Stonebridge Nursing & Rehab Stick Around?

Staff turnover at STONEBRIDGE NURSING & REHAB is high. At 100%, the facility is 53 percentage points above the Illinois average of 47%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 100%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?

Was Stonebridge Nursing & Rehab Ever Fined?

STONEBRIDGE NURSING & REHAB has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Stonebridge Nursing & Rehab on Any Federal Watch List?

STONEBRIDGE NURSING & REHAB 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.
