Choosing a senior living community means finding a place where exceptional care is as much a priority as lifestyle and comfort. At Oak Trace, we are proud to share that our community has earned a 4-star overall rating for skilled nursing from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)—a national recognition that reflects our dedication to excellence across every level of care we offer.
Why This Recognition Matters
The CMS 5-star rating system is a respected national tool designed to help individuals and families compare skilled nursing providers. Achieving four stars places Oak Trace among the highest-rated communities in Illinois for quality care. This distinction is based on performance in three critical categories:
- Health Inspections: In-depth, state-conducted evaluations that ensure communities meet rigorous safety, cleanliness, and compliance standards.
- Staffing: The measured amount of daily, direct care provided by licensed nurses and aides, ensuring residents receive the attention and expertise they deserve.
- Quality Measures: A set of clinical outcomes that reflect how residents maintain mobility, recover after illness or surgery, and preserve their independence in daily life.
These metrics offer valuable insight to families seeking assurance, but they also serve as an affirmation for those who call Oak Trace home. For our independent living residents and assisted living residents [link to AL page], this rating means that if your needs change, you have nationally recognized care just steps away. For those seeking short-term rehabilitation or long-term care, it’s reassurance that you’ll be supported by a community known for its exceptional standards.
