Position within Illinois
5 citations — more than 62% of the 502 licensed assisted living facilities in Illinois. Compared only within Illinois: a citation from IDPH means what it means in Illinois, and there is no national assisted living record to compare to. Counted over 3 years, which holds two or three routine inspections. How this is calculated
Not in this record
Fire and life safety inspection, severity, the surveyor's narrative, and enforcement. The fire inspection of an Illinois establishment is the local fire authority's and is not part of IDPH's record; what IDPH itself cites about the building — its physical plant, environmental and disaster preparedness rules — is here. IDPH's statements carry no severity grid, and the plan of correction is the establishment's own text and is not republished. Fines and licence actions are not republished, and the administrator IDPH lists is not named. The portal gives no licence date, so Illinois has no newly licensed list.
