EVERCARE OF SWANSEA
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Evercare of Swansea has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the care provided. Ranking #518 out of 665 facilities in Illinois places it in the bottom half, and #10 out of 15 in St. Clair County suggests that only a few local options are better. The facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 16 in 2024 to 25 in 2025. Staffing is a notable weakness, with a poor rating of 1 out of 5 stars and a troubling turnover rate of 61%, which is higher than the Illinois average of 46%. Specific incidents of concern include a failure to follow a resident's advanced directives, resulting in unnecessary emergency interventions, and two residents eloping from the facility due to inadequate supervision, highlighting serious safety risks.

- Getting Worse
- Staff Stability ⚠ Watch
- 61% turnover. Above average. Higher turnover means staff may not know residents' routines.
- Penalties ○ Average
- $22,994 in fines. Higher than 71% of Illinois facilities. Some compliance issues.
- Skilled Nurses ⚠ Watch
- Each resident gets only 11 minutes of Registered Nurse (RN) attention daily — below average for Illinois. Fewer RN minutes means fewer trained eyes watching for problems.
- Violations ⚠ Watch
- 69 deficiencies on record. Higher than average. Multiple issues found across inspections.
