SUNSET REHABILITATION & HLTH C
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Sunset Rehabilitation & Health Center in Canton, Illinois has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about its care quality. It ranks #643 out of 665 facilities in Illinois, placing it in the bottom half, and #6 out of 6 in Fulton County, meaning there are no local options that rank lower. Although the facility is showing improvement in terms of issues reported-dropping from 16 in 2024 to 4 in 2025-there are still serious concerns, including $518,295 in fines, which is higher than 98% of Illinois facilities, reflecting ongoing compliance problems. Staffing ratings are poor with only 1 out of 5 stars, but with a surprising 0% turnover rate, indicating staff may stay long-term despite the overall issues. Notably, there have been critical incidents, including failures to document advanced directives leading to a resident not receiving CPR, and incidents of resident-to-resident abuse that went unreported, raising alarms about safety and supervision at this facility. Families should weigh these strengths and weaknesses carefully when considering care options.

About This Facility
What is Sunset Rehabilitation & Hlth C's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns SUNSET REHABILITATION & HLTH C 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 Sunset Rehabilitation & Hlth C Staffed?
CMS rates SUNSET REHABILITATION & HLTH C's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes.
What Have Inspectors Found at Sunset Rehabilitation & Hlth C?
State health inspectors documented 48 deficiencies at SUNSET REHABILITATION & HLTH C during 2022 to 2025. These included: 5 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 2 that caused actual resident harm, and 41 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 Sunset Rehabilitation & Hlth C?
SUNSET REHABILITATION & HLTH C 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 PETERSEN HEALTH CARE, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 115 certified beds and approximately 80 residents (about 70% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in CANTON, Illinois.
How Does Sunset Rehabilitation & Hlth C Compare to Other Illinois Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Illinois, SUNSET REHABILITATION & HLTH C's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.5 and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Sunset Rehabilitation & Hlth C?
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?" "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?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Sunset Rehabilitation & Hlth C Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, SUNSET REHABILITATION & HLTH C has documented safety concerns. Inspectors have issued 5 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 Sunset Rehabilitation & Hlth C Stick Around?
SUNSET REHABILITATION & HLTH C has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.
Was Sunset Rehabilitation & Hlth C Ever Fined?
SUNSET REHABILITATION & HLTH C has been fined $518,295 across 3 penalty actions. This is 13.5x the Illinois average of $38,262. 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 Sunset Rehabilitation & Hlth C on Any Federal Watch List?
SUNSET REHABILITATION & HLTH C 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.
