Is Lacon Rehab and Nursing a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 2 out of 5 stars overall, below the Illinois average of 2.6. Inspectors issued 42 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 3 penalties, including $40,740 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 5 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5.

Paying for care at Lacon Rehab and Nursing: Medicare and Medicaid

Lacon Rehab and Nursing is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Illinois's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.

Questions to ask on a tour of Lacon Rehab and Nursing

  1. Inspectors cited the home at the immediate-jeopardy level on February 3, 2026 under the rule on environmental. What changed afterwards, and can I see the plan of correction?
  2. CMS cited the home under its abuse and neglect rules on May 23, 2025. How are staff trained, and how are concerns reported?
  3. CMS rates staffing 2 out of 5. How many residents does each nurse aide care for on day, evening and night shifts?
  4. Weekend staffing is 20% below the all-week average. Who is on duty on Saturday nights?
  5. The home averages about 58% of its beds filled. Are any units closed?
  6. Do you have a Medicaid bed open now, and will you admit someone whose Medicaid application is still pending?
  7. When is the first care-plan meeting, and can family attend?

Questions come from this home's CMS data: its inspections, staffing and ownership record.
