About Nursing Home Care in Peoria
When it comes to nursing home care in Peoria, IL, families should proceed with caution. The standout is Lutheran Hillside Village, which boasts a 5-star CMS rating and an impressive score of 90. However, with only two facilities meeting acceptable standards and five with serious issues, the market is concerning. Families should be selective and vigilant when researching care options in this area.
If you're looking for facilities worth considering, Lutheran Hillside Village remains the top choice. With a clean record and zero fines in three years, it offers peace of mind to families. Another option is Proctor Place, which is well-staffed and has consistently received positive feedback from residents and their families. However, the choices are limited, and if you’re not satisfied with what you see, consider expanding your search to nearby cities like Bloomington or Morton for better options.
On the flip side, there are facilities that families should outright skip. Avoid Sharon Health Care Pines, which has received abuse citations and faced a hefty $235K in fines. Loft Rehab of Peoria, The, is another facility to steer clear of, marked by serious deficiencies and $262K in fines, earning it a Grade F. Lastly, Sharon Health Care Elms is also a no-go, as it has $226K in fines and a Grade F rating. When visiting any facility, always ask to speak with current residents and their families to get a genuine feel for the environment.

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 Peoria, 2 facilities score 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.
Staffing: A Significant Concern in Peoria
Staffing levels are among the most important predictors of nursing home quality. Research consistently shows that facilities with more nursing staff—especially registered nurses—have better outcomes for residents.
Peoria facilities average 0.62 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Peoria resident receives approximately 37 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
2 Peoria 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: Mix of For-Profit and Non-Profit
Peoria has 3 non-profit nursing homes and 5 for-profit facilities. 3 of 8 facilities are chain-owned, with the remainder independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average, though ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports.
