Ratings Released For Arlington Heights Nursing Homes: U.S. News

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — With Tuesday's release of the 2022-2023 Best Nursing Homes ratings, Illinois residents looking at Arlington Heights area properties for themselves or loved ones have more information to consider. U.S. News & World Report evaluated more than 15,000 nursing homes.

Among 703 nursing homes in Illinois, 35 long-term and 51 short-term care facilities were ranked as "high performing." The ratings also show nursing homes that fell short. A total of 422 nursing homes in Illinois received "below average" ratings, scoring only 1 or 2 on a 5-point scale. Most, however, were "average" with scores of 3 or 4.

The performance ratings are based on data retrieved from reports nursing homes are required to submit to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid data. Specifically:

• The ratings for both short-and long-term care take into account the consistency of registered nurse staffing, the use of antipsychotic drugs, and success in preventing emergency room and hospital visits.
• The long-term care rating also includes measures of whether a nursing home changed ownership and how well they were staffed on weekends.
• The short-term rehabilitation rating also includes measures of a nursing home’s success in preventing falls, preventing serious infections, and making sure residents are able to return home.
