BELLA TERRA STREAMWOOD
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Bella Terra Streamwood has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating that it is above average and recommended among nursing homes. It ranks #17 out of 665 facilities in Illinois, placing it in the top half, and #5 out of 201 in Cook County, suggesting there are only four local options that are better. The facility has remained stable regarding its performance, with two issues reported in both 2024 and 2025. Staffing is a weakness, with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 47%, which is around the state average. However, it offers good RN coverage, exceeding that of 89% of Illinois facilities, ensuring better oversight of resident care. While the facility has no fines, which is a positive sign, there are concerns related to resident care. For instance, residents reported delays in call light responses, with one resident waiting too long for assistance during the night shift. Additionally, some residents were not informed about the location of state inspection results, indicating a lack of transparency. Lastly, there was an incident involving a resident who fell while not closely monitored, despite having a care plan that specified the need for closer observation. Overall, while Bella Terra Streamwood has notable strengths, potential families should weigh these issues carefully.
