Aliya of Evanston is certified to accept payment through both Medicare and Medicaid programs.

When reviewed alongside national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile. The 3-star overall rating places it on par with the national average, though the individual category ratings reveal variation across domains. The 2-star health inspection and 2-star staffing ratings are both below average, while the 5-star quality measure rating is notably above average. Quality measure data is drawn from clinical indicators such as rates of hospitalizations, falls, and other resident outcomes, and a high rating in this area can reflect positively on clinical care delivery. The lower inspection and staffing ratings suggest areas where performance has not met average national benchmarks.
