Abuse icon Medicare's Care Compare says: “This nursing home has been cited for abuse.” Medicare marks homes recently cited for harm or potential harm from abuse or neglect, and caps their health inspection rating at 2 stars.
Special Focus Facility Medicare doesn't rate this home: “This facility is not rated due to a history of serious quality issues and is included in the special focus facility program.” Special Focus Facilities get a full inspection at least every six months.
Hillside Health Care Center is a Special Focus Facility, so Medicare doesn't rate it. Its last standard inspection, in April 2026, found 23 citations, 4 for actual harm or immediate jeopardy (the Missouri average is 11.4). It was fined 3 times in the last three years, $168,680 in all.
