HAWTHORNE INN OF DANVILLE
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Hawthorne Inn of Danville has received a Trust Grade of D, indicating below-average quality and some concerns within the facility. Ranked #247 out of 665 nursing homes in Illinois, they are in the top half of facilities in the state, and they are ranked #1 out of 5 in Vermilion County, meaning they are the best option in the local area. The facility's trend is stable, with 10 issues reported in both 2024 and 2025, and while staffing is a strength with a 4 out of 5-star rating and 40% turnover (better than the state average), there are still significant weaknesses.
