Joliet Nursing Homes

Joliet has ten skilled nursing homes, but Medicare rates only seven. The average rating is 2.4 stars out of five, with most homes performing poorly: four rate two stars or lower. Only one facility achieves four stars or better, and the highest-rated home here holds five stars. Families should know most options here have low federal scores.

Staffing data shows limited care: average nursing care totals 3.3 hours per resident daily, with just 0.6 hours from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover is high at 42%, meaning frequent staff changes that impact consistency. These numbers suggest care may be inconsistent and understaffed compared to typical standards.

Will County has four hospitals, including Saint Joseph Medical Center with emergency services. Statewide, shared-room nursing home costs average $59,680 yearly, not specific to Joliet. Given the low ratings across most local homes, families should consider comparing facilities in neighboring towns or verify the single higher-rated home's current standing before deciding.
