Mercy Circle is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. This dual certification means the facility is available to residents who qualify under federal Medicare guidelines, as well as those who meet state Medicaid eligibility requirements in Illinois. Individuals and families seeking placement at this facility are advised to confirm current bed availability and specific insurance acceptance directly with the facility's admissions staff. With a 5-star overall CMS rating across all three component categories, Mercy Circle's reported performance data places it above the national average of 3.0 stars in every measured domain. Its small certified bed count of 23 is notably below the national average for nursing facilities, which may be relevant for those comparing facility size and staffing ratios. As a church-related non-profit, its ownership structure differs from both for-profit and government-operated facilities, which may be a relevant consideration for prospective residents and their families. All ratings and data are sourced from CMS and are subject to periodic updates based on new inspections and reporting cycles.
