Aperion Care Midlothian is a nursing care facility located at 3249 West 147th Street in Midlothian, Illinois, within Cook County. The facility operates 91 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit, individually owned organization. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS assigns these ratings based on three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Aperion Care Midlothian received a health inspection rating of 3 stars, a staffing rating of 1 star, and a quality measure rating of 3 stars. The staffing rating of 1 star is notably below the national average and reflects the ratio of nursing staff hours relative to resident census, as reported to CMS. The health inspection and quality measure ratings each sit at 3 stars, aligning with the national average in those areas. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Aperion Care Midlothian is able to serve residents whose care is funded through either of these federal and state programs. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, while Medicaid may fund longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility requirements. Residents or their representatives seeking information about coverage specifics are encouraged to consult directly with the facility's billing department or contact the relevant program administrators. When compared to national benchmarks, Aperion Care Midlothian presents a mixed profile across its CMS rating categories. The overall 2-star rating places the facility below the national average, driven in significant part by its 1-star staffing rating. The staffing component measures the average hours of care provided per resident per day by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. A 1-star staffing rating indicates that reported staffing levels fall in the lowest tier nationally. In contrast, the facility's 3-star ratings in both health inspections and quality measures reflect performance that is consistent with the national midpoint. Health inspection ratings account for the frequency, scope, and severity of deficiencies cited during standard state surveys and complaint investigations. Quality measure ratings are derived from clinical data reported for residents, covering areas such as mobility, pain management, and hospital readmission rates. Taken together, the facility's ratings indicate below-average overall performance, with staffing as the primary area of concern relative to national standards.
