When considered alongside national benchmarks, Aperion Care Elgin presents a mixed profile. Its overall 4-star rating places it above the national average, driven in part by its 5-star quality measure rating. However, its 2-star staffing rating indicates that nurse staffing levels are below what CMS observes on average across facilities nationwide. The 3-star health inspection rating reflects performance consistent with the national norm. These ratings are drawn from CMS data and are updated periodically as new inspection and staffing information is reported. Prospective residents and their families are advised to review the full CMS Nursing Home Care Compare profile for the most current data and to conduct in-person visits when evaluating care options.
