These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 20 findings, above the IL average of 12.0. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Families considering Alta Rehab at Fairmont will find an exceptional physical and occupational therapy team that is consistently praised for driving patient recovery. However, there are significant and recurring reports of nursing and CNA understaffing, specifically regarding slow response times to call buttons and inconsistent hygiene care. While some recent reviews suggest improvements in food and cleanliness, others report serious concerns regarding sanitation and neglect.

Key Review Excerpts
“The wound care team works hard to take care of your wound 7 days a week. This facility has more staff on weekends than Warren Barr gold coast has Monday through Friday, much better food, and medical staff.”
“My mom is a current resident at this facility. She has been there since December 2024. They have the worst Nurses and cnas. The 11-7am shift is horrible. I have called the police 3 times to file a police report for senior abuse.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
