PAVILION OF BRIDGEVIEW, THE

The Pavilion of Bridgeview is a skilled nursing facility located at 8100 South Harlem Avenue in Bridgeview, Illinois, within Cook County. The facility operates with 146 certified beds and is owned and operated as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities based on three core categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The Pavilion of Bridgeview holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which aligns with the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection rating is 3 stars, reflecting standard performance in this category relative to state and national benchmarks. The quality measure rating is also 3 stars, indicating performance consistent with the national midpoint across clinical outcome indicators. The staffing rating stands at 2 stars, which falls below the national average and reflects lower staffing levels compared to peer facilities nationwide. Staffing ratings are calculated using data reported to CMS on registered nurse hours, licensed practical nurse hours, and certified nursing assistant hours per resident per day. The Pavilion of Bridgeview is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, while Medicaid may provide coverage for longer-term residential care for eligible individuals. Residents or their representatives are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (708) 594-5440 to discuss specific insurance coverage, private pay options, and bed availability. When evaluated against national benchmarks, the Pavilion of Bridgeview presents a mixed profile. Its overall 3-star rating matches the national average, and both the health inspection and quality measure ratings are consistent with that midpoint. However, the 2-star staffing rating is a notable area where the facility performs below average, a factor that prospective residents and their families may wish to consider alongside other facility characteristics. CMS star ratings represent one component of a broader evaluation process, and on-site visits and direct conversations with facility administrators can provide additional context not captured in aggregate data.
