West Suburban Medical Ctr is a for-profit, corporate-owned skilled nursing facility located at 3 Erie Court in Oak Park, Illinois (Cook County), ZIP code 60302. The facility holds 50 certified beds and is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid patients. It can be reached by phone at (708) 763-6018. The facility has received an overall CMS Five-Star Quality Rating of 5 out of 5 stars, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS assigns this composite rating based on three individual domain scores: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. West Suburban Medical Ctr earned 5 out of 5 stars in the health inspection category, reflecting a strong survey performance history relative to other facilities in Illinois. The quality measure rating also received 5 out of 5 stars, indicating that clinical outcome indicators tracked by CMS perform at a high level compared to national benchmarks. However, the staffing rating is 1 out of 5 stars, which is notably below the national average, suggesting that reported staffing hours per resident per day are lower than what CMS considers typical for facilities of this size and type. West Suburban Medical Ctr accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. This dual certification means the facility is able to serve residents who rely on federal health insurance through Medicare, as well as those who qualify for the joint federal and state Medicaid program. Individuals and families seeking care at this facility should contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits counselor to clarify current bed availability and coverage specifics, as payment terms and program participation can change. In terms of overall standing, West Suburban Medical Ctr ranks above the national average of 3.0 stars with its 5-star composite rating. The strong performance in health inspections and quality measures contributes significantly to this outcome. The 1-star staffing rating represents a meaningful contrast within the facility's profile, as staffing levels are a component that CMS weighs in the overall evaluation process. Nationally, staffing levels vary widely across nursing facilities, and a 1-star staffing score indicates the facility falls at the lower end of the distribution for this particular measure. Facilities in Cook County and across Illinois are subject to the same CMS rating methodology, allowing for direct comparison across the state and nationwide.
