SPRING CREEK

Spring Creek is a nursing care facility located at 777 Draper Avenue in Joliet, Illinois (ZIP code 60432), within Will County. The facility operates 168 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit corporation. Spring Creek 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 health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Spring Creek holds an overall CMS rating of 3 stars, which aligns with the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection rating stands at 3 stars, indicating performance consistent with national norms in that category. The staffing rating is 2 stars, falling below the national average, which reflects the ratio of nursing staff hours relative to the number of residents. The quality measure rating is 3 stars, again consistent with national averages. These ratings are drawn from CMS data and are updated periodically as new inspection and staffing information becomes available. Spring Creek accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment, making the facility accessible to residents who rely on federal insurance programs for their care. Individuals and families researching payment options should contact the facility directly at (815) 727-4794 to confirm current policies, availability, and any additional payment arrangements that may be applicable. When viewed in the context of national benchmarks, Spring Creek presents a mixed profile. Its overall, health inspection, and quality measure ratings each match the national 3-star average, suggesting performance that is broadly in line with many facilities across the country in those categories. However, the 2-star staffing rating indicates a staffing level that falls below what CMS considers average on a national basis. Staffing ratios can influence the consistency and volume of direct care provided to residents, and this rating category is one factor among several that individuals may consider when evaluating a facility. Spring Creek serves the Joliet metropolitan area and the broader Will County region, providing a locally available option for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries in need of skilled nursing or long-term care services.
