Generations at Rock Island
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Generations at Rock Island has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. With a state ranking of #534 out of 665, and #7 out of 9 in Rock Island County, this facility falls in the bottom half for both state and county rankings, suggesting limited options for families looking for better alternatives. While the facility is showing improvement in its trend, reducing issues from 11 in 2024 to 10 in 2025, there are still serious deficiencies. Staffing is concerning, with only 1 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 54%, indicating instability among caregivers. Notably, there were critical incidents where a resident who wandered off was not adequately supervised, and another resident was not properly monitored for potential abuse, highlighting serious safety risks. On a positive note, the facility has not incurred any fines, which is a good sign, but overall, the issues raised indicate that families should thoroughly consider their options before choosing this nursing home.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Generations At Rock Island?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the substantiated abuse finding on record, and the below-average staffing rating.

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