Is Prairie Crossing LVG & Rehab 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 Prairie Crossing LVG & Rehab as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 4 out of 5 stars overall, above the Illinois average of 2.6. Inspectors issued 16 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 2 penalties, including $27,621 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 1 out of 5; for long-term residents, 4 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Online reviews from families and residents are on Google Maps and other sites; they reflect individual experiences and aren't checked by CMS. The full inspection reports, including what inspectors observed, are on Medicare Care Compare.
