About Nursing Home Care in Canton
Canton, IL, presents a mixed bag for families seeking nursing home care. The standout is Graham Hospital, boasting an impressive 5-star CMS rating and a score of 95. However, with only one recommended facility in a market where the average rating is above the state average, families may find their options limited and concerning overall.
For those exploring nursing homes in Canton, Graham Hospital is the clear leader, known for its stellar reputation and zero fines in the last three years. While the other facilities, namely Renaissance Care Center and Sunset Rehabilitation & Health Center, have serious shortcomings, it’s worth considering nearby cities like Peoria for additional options. Unfortunately, Canton lacks any non-profit facilities, leaving families with only for-profit choices.
Families should avoid Renaissance Care Center, which has documented abuse citations and holds a troubling Grade F, and Sunset Rehabilitation & Health Center, which faced a staggering $518K in fines and also carries a Grade F. When visiting any facility, make it a point to ask about staff turnover and how they handle complaints to ensure your loved one receives the best possible care.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Canton, 1 facility scores a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.
Staffing: Meeting Standards in Canton
Staffing levels are among the most important predictors of nursing home quality. Research consistently shows that facilities with more nursing staff—especially registered nurses—have better outcomes for residents.
Canton facilities average 1.34 RN hours per resident day, which meets the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Canton resident receives approximately 80 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
2 Canton facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: Mix of For-Profit and Non-Profit
Canton has 1 non-profit nursing homes and 3 for-profit facilities. 2 of 4 facilities are chain-owned, with the remainder independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average, though ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports.
