QUINCY HEALTHCARE & SR LIVING
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Quincy Healthcare & Senior Living has a Trust Grade of F, which indicates significant concerns regarding care quality and resident safety. In the state of Illinois, it ranks #614 out of 665 facilities, placing it in the bottom half, and #5 out of 6 in Adams County, showing that there are only a few local options that are better. While the facility is improving, decreasing its issues from 20 in 2024 to 6 in 2025, the current situation still raises alarms. Staffing is rated as below average with a turnover rate of 48%, which is about the state's average, suggesting that staff stability is not a strong point. There are also concerning incidents, such as a resident waiting too long for toileting assistance, leading to emotional distress, and another resident sustaining a serious leg injury during a transfer that required emergency care. Overall, while there are areas of improvement, families should be cautious and weigh these serious issues when considering this facility.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Quincy Healthcare & Sr Living?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
Is Quincy Healthcare & Sr Living Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, QUINCY HEALTHCARE & SR LIVING has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Illinois.

Do Nurses at Quincy Healthcare & Sr Living Stick Around?
QUINCY HEALTHCARE & SR LIVING has a staff turnover rate of 48%, which is about average for Illinois nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.

QUINCY HEALTHCARE & SR LIVING has been fined $35,848 across 2 penalty actions. The Illinois average is $33,437. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Quincy Healthcare & Sr Living on Any Federal Watch List?
QUINCY HEALTHCARE & SR LIVING is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
