Key Review Excerpts
“The female evening CNAs and the RN just sit at the nurses station and run their mouths while patients stay helpless in unclean rooms needing assistance and care.”
“The staff is so unprofessional, I'm talking about the CNA,Nurses, they don't check on like they surposed to . An when you push the call button it take them about 2hrs to come an see what's the problem is with an attitude”
“I really appreciate the hard work the nursing team has done to take care of me. Therapy worked really hard to help me get stronger.”
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.

Warren Barr Oak Lawn has concerning patterns with families filing multiple complaints about resident care quality, including recurring issues with wound care, pain management, and safety supervision that span multiple years. The facility shows ongoing problems with infection control, medication management, and fire safety systems across eight surveys. While all violations report correction dates, the repeated nature of complaints in core care areas—particularly wound care appearing in both 2024 complaints and safety issues persisting into 2025—suggests systemic challenges that families should carefully evaluate.
