About Goldwater Care

Goldwater Care is a regional chain of for‑profit skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers operating exclusively in rural and semi‑urban areas of Illinois. It comprises 11 facilities across different towns—including Bloomington, Clinton, Danville, Gibson City, Marseilles, Peoria Heights, Pontiac, Princeton, Roseville, Spring Valley, and Toluca.

It appears to be structured via facility‑specific LLCs, with oversight through a corporate entity known as Goldwater Care Management LLC, which holds operational and managerial control in many locations.

From the ProPublica chain data, Goldwater Care facilities generally report higher-than-average nurse staffing turnover, lower nurse hours per resident, and higher average serious deficiencies. The average fine per facility is also higher.

The group does not appear to be publicly traded or part of a REIT; rather, its ownership is founder‑/manager‑driven via trusts and LLCs. I found no public statements about its founding year or corporate history on official or news sources.
