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. Registered Nurse hours are 62% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 22 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.
Forest City Rehab & Nursing Center receives highly polarized feedback, with recurring reports of severe neglect, poor hygiene, and pest infestations. While some reviewers praise specific staff members for their kindness, many families express deep concern regarding slow response times to call lights, inadequate medical oversight, and unprofessional communication.

Key Review Excerpts
“A residents family member came to pick up family members for a visit and the family brought the resident’s wheelchair back in cause it was full of maggots and was so wet from urine cause CNA’s refuse to help residents in timely matter.”
“I was told half truths concerning questions that I would ask them concerning my sister. I feel like some of the staff do not care about the residents there. They do not have time for them.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
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.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
