About Nursing Home Care in Oswego
When it comes to nursing home care in Oswego, IL, the market is limited but not concerning. The standout is Heritage Woods of Oswego, which, while it doesn't have any major red flags, also lacks some of the stronger attributes seen in top facilities. Families should be aware that while there is only one option in the city, it maintains a clean record with zero fines, making it a relatively safe choice in this area.
If you're considering facilities nearby, you might want to look at options in neighboring towns such as Aurora or Montgomery, where there are more alternatives. Unfortunately, in Oswego, there are no non-profit facilities and the single option available does not boast a robust staff-to-resident ratio, which can be a concern for families needing more personalized care.
While there aren't facilities to outright avoid due to major issues, it’s important to be vigilant. When visiting Heritage Woods of Oswego, pay attention to staff interactions with residents and ask about care plans and staffing levels. A practical tip: always visit multiple times, at different hours, to get a true sense of the environment and care quality.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Oswego, 1 facility scores a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.

0 Oswego facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
