Pearl Pavilion is a medium-sized nursing home facility situated in Freeport, Illinois, and offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care for its residents. With a capacity of 109 beds, the home operates under for-profit, corporate ownership and is not part of a continuing care retirement community. Pearl Pavilion accepts residents who participate in both Medicare and Medicaid, extending its services to a wide range of individuals with varying financial and healthcare needs.
The nursing home focuses on providing care for seniors who may require assistance with daily living activities, as well as residents in need of post-acute rehabilitation following hospital stays for conditions such as stroke, heart attack, infections, or accidental injuries. Pearl Pavilion’s housing for its residents is designed to be accessible, though inspection records indicate occasional challenges in maintaining an environment that is consistently safe, clean, and comfortable for all occupants, staff, and visitors. Nurse staffing at the facility averages about 3 hours and 14 minutes per resident each day, reflecting the level of hands-on care offered to meet individual health requirements.
Short-term rehabilitation outcomes at Pearl Pavilion show that just over half of residents are able to return home following their stay, while the facility monitors and reports critical statistics such as rates of major injuries due to falls, hospitalizations resulting from infections, and emergency room visits among its short-term residents. Attention is paid to the provision of appropriate treatment and care according to each resident's medical orders, personal preferences, and health goals, although various inspection results outline ongoing areas for improvement in these services.
Pearl Pavilion’s approach to resident care encompasses not only clinical responsibilities but also emphasizes the importance of honoring residents’ rights, self-determination, and dignity. Inspection findings over recent years have addressed issues ranging from assistance with activities of daily living and pain management to development and prevention of pressure ulcers, proper pharmaceutical services, and the procurement and distribution of food according to professional standards. Ongoing efforts are made to ensure that residents’ nutritional needs are met safely and that access to advocacy agencies and survey results is readily available.
Residents of Pearl Pavilion—a diverse group of individuals requiring a variety of medical and personal care services—may also benefit from the facility’s participation in federal programs aimed at seniors. The setting aims to foster as comfortable and supportive an atmosphere as possible, balancing attention to health and wellness needs with respect for each resident’s autonomy and quality of life. Continuous monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation of care remain integral to the operation, as the facility seeks to provide a safe and responsive living environment for all who reside there.
