TAYLORVILLE CARE CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Taylorville Care Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns regarding the quality of care provided. It ranks #645 out of 665 nursing homes in Illinois, placing it in the bottom half of facilities in the state, and is the lowest-ranked facility in Christian County. While the facility shows signs of improvement, having reduced issues from 22 in 2024 to 7 in 2025, the overall situation remains troubling, with 55 serious deficiencies noted, including two critical incidents where residents were unsupervised and left the facility. Staffing is a major concern, with only 1 out of 5 stars and a RN coverage level lower than 95% of Illinois facilities, meaning they may not have enough registered nurses to catch issues that other staff might miss. Additionally, the facility has incurred $216,034 in fines, which is higher than 89% of Illinois nursing homes, suggesting ongoing compliance problems. Specific incidents include a resident leaving the facility unsupervised and being found by police, and another resident suffering a fractured arm due to improper use of bed rails, highlighting significant safety risks.

These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations and the below-average staffing rating.
