Deficiency-Free Survey

CornerstoneSpecial Care, a HutsonWood Community and a leading residential community providing specialized care for medically complex and developmentally disabled individuals, is proud to announce it has received a deficiency-free survey following a comprehensive inspection by the Illinois Department of PublicHealth (IDPH).

This achievement signifies the highest level of compliance with state regulations and highlights Cornerstone Special Care's unwavering commitment to excellence in care, safety, and quality of life for its residents.

"We are incredibly proud of our entire team for this outstanding accomplishment,"said Melissa Francque, Executive Director at Cornerstone Special Care. "A deficiency-free survey is a rare and significant recognition that reflects our dedication to providing compassionate, individualized care and maintaining the highest standards across every aspect of our community."

The IDPH survey process is rigorous and includes a thorough review of clinical care, safety protocols, staff training, documentation, resident rights, and overall facility operations. Achieving a deficiency-free result means surveyors found zero violations or areas requiring correction—a distinction earned by only a small percentage of long-term care providers in the state.

CornerstoneSpecial Care serves individuals with a wide range of medical complexities and developmental disabilities, offering tailored care plans, skilled nursing services, and a supportive environment that encourages independence, growth, and dignity.

“This recognition affirms our mission to serve with heart and purpose,” added Mrs. Francque. “Our residents deserve nothing less than the very best, and this survey result is a testament to the daily efforts of our nurses, caregivers, therapists, and support staff.”
