IRVING PARK LIVING & REHAB CTR
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Irving Park Living & Rehab Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns regarding care quality. The facility ranks #555 out of 665 in Illinois and #174 out of 201 in Cook County, placing it in the bottom half of all local options. The situation appears to be worsening, with the number of issues reported increasing from 10 in 2024 to 16 in 2025. Staffing is rated poorly with a score of 1 out of 5, and the turnover rate is 52%, which is around the state average, suggesting a lack of stability among caregivers. The facility has accumulated $152,680 in fines, which is concerning as it is higher than 76% of Illinois facilities, indicating repeated compliance problems. Specific incidents highlight serious concerns: one resident with cognitive impairments fell due to inadequate supervision, resulting in a significant injury, while another resident reported experiencing sexual abuse within the facility. Additionally, the staff failed to implement necessary fall prevention measures for several residents, leading to serious injuries. While there is some RN coverage, it remains average, which may not be sufficient to ensure the safety and well-being of residents. Overall, families should weigh these serious weaknesses against any potential strengths when considering this nursing home for their loved ones.
