LOFT REHABILITATION & NURSING
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Loft Rehabilitation & Nursing in Eureka, Illinois, has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating poor quality and significant concerns about care. It ranks #571 out of 665 facilities in Illinois, placing it in the bottom half overall, and #5 out of 5 in Woodford County, meaning there are no better local options available. The facility is showing signs of improvement, reducing its issues from 32 in 2024 to just 1 in 2025, but it still faces serious challenges. Staffing is a concern with a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 68%, much worse than the state average of 46%. Additionally, fines totaling $388,284 are troubling, indicating compliance issues that are higher than 98% of other facilities in Illinois. There are critical incidents that raise alarms for families considering this home. For example, a cognitively impaired resident was able to leave the facility unnoticed, resulting in serious injuries after falling outside. Another incident involved a resident with a history of aggression who was not adequately supervised, leading to further risks for other residents. While the facility has some strengths, such as ongoing efforts to improve, these serious issues highlight potential risks that families should carefully consider.

Do Nurses at Loft Rehabilitation & Nursing Stick Around?
Staff turnover at LOFT REHABILITATION & NURSING is high. At 68%, the facility is 21 percentage points above the Illinois average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 78%.

High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences.

How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?

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.
