Overview

The Haven on the River has a Trust Grade of D, indicating below average performance with some significant concerns. It ranks #414 out of 665 nursing homes in Illinois, placing it in the bottom half, and #2 out of 3 in White County, meaning only one local facility is rated higher. Unfortunately, the facility is worsening, with reported issues increasing from 9 in 2024 to 11 in 2025. Staffing is a major concern, with a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 62%, suggesting that staff frequently leave, which can impact care continuity. While there have been no fines recorded, recent inspector findings reveal serious issues, such as failing to administer medications on time and insufficient staffing to meet residents' needs, which could affect all residents living in the facility.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
