Is The Pavilion on Main Street a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

There are no official resident reviews of nursing homes: Medicare's Care Compare publishes inspections, staffing and quality data instead. Here is what that record shows for The Pavilion on Main Street as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the Illinois average of 2.6. Inspectors issued 29 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 2 penalties, including $52,234 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 2 out of 5; for long-term residents, 4 out of 5.

Paying for care at The Pavilion on Main Street: Medicare and Medicaid

The Pavilion on Main Street 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.
