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 88% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 17 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.
The Pearl of Montclare receives high praise for its attentive nursing staff, professional rehab team, and clean, well-maintained environment. While many families report excellent experiences and a family-like atmosphere, some recent reviews raise serious concerns regarding nighttime staffing, communication, and the management of medical conditions like pressure injuries.

Key Review Excerpts
“After 23 years, I began learning how to walk again, and the staff supported and encouraged me every single step of the way.”
“The CNA's and Nursing staff are attentive and always available to answer concerns or questions that I have. Marie the Administrator as well as Nilda the Director of Nursing have been supportive and highly invested in my dads overall care.”
“Despite repeated complaints of severe tailbone pain, my father developed a deep tissue pressure injury that required urgent intervention.”
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.
