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 67% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 18 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.
Warren Barr South Loop receives a high volume of positive feedback, particularly from families and nursing students who praise the facility's cleanliness, modern therapy gym, and dedicated activity department. However, a recurring pattern of serious complaints exists regarding neglect, poor hygiene, and inadequate staffing levels, with multiple reviewers citing issues like untreated bedsores and unresponsive care.

Key Review Excerpts
“The lobby staff are friendly and very professional, just wish the care of the patient waa better, bedsore is not a good look and to have gotten so bad that it was to bone, the smell on the 3rd floor make me want to vomit every time I visit.”
“The activity department sincerely and thoroughly gets to know each resident on a personal level and really treats them like family.”
“The day my mother was transferred to the facility they threw her in the room and she had feces on her, while the nurse on duty was too busy downstairs ordering food herself.”
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.
