Pearl Pavilion

Pearl Pavilion sits in Freeport and offers assisted living, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term care, with a steady daily average of about 62 residents out of 109 certified beds, and the staff puts a lot of care into creating a kind, respectful environment where folks get the right help with things like dressing, bathing, grooming, and eating, plus nurses and care teams who look out for everyone's well-being at all hours with 24-hour security and skilled nursing. The building's pretty well kept, with no reported health inspection violations over the last two years, and it hosts a range of amenities like a beauty salon, TV, housekeeping, transportation, a library, and internet access that make daily life smoother for residents, while a kitchen known for hearty meals and creative desserts keeps people talking about the food. There are regular holiday events-like Christmas and Halloween parties-communal games like bingo, and spaces where neighbors can enjoy time together, and for folks who need more care, the center offers therapies like speech, occupational, and physical therapy, also IV therapy, feeding tube care, catheter care, and diabetes management including both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Pearl Pavilion is a for-profit limited liability company, has a nurse turnover rate of 64.2%, which is higher than the state average, and its nurses clock an average 2.72 staff nurse hours per resident per day, with licensed staff totaling 11.4 hours and regular registered nurse coverage including weekends, though this is below the state's typical numbers. The facility has several regulatory deficiencies, totaling 77 from inspections, including four related to infection control, and citations relating to nutrition, pharmaceutical services, and help with daily living tasks, all rated potential for more than minimal harm but no actual harm noted, and menus do need better planning and review to make sure every resident gets the right nutrients. The center runs Medicare and Medicaid certified services since 1972, and also has a dedicated rehab and healing center on-site. It even sometimes acts as an event space for weddings, corporate events, or community gatherings, and offers elegant rooms with flexible décor for groups to use. Amenities cover TV, library, internet, and even a beauty salon, so folks don't have to go far for what they need, and the staff is often described as compassionate and attentive, although nurse turnover and staffing hours could be improved. Pearl Pavilion works to keep rooms clean and safe, and continues to adjust its care and services as regulations require, offering a dependable, caring place for adults needing short or long-term support.
