Alden Debes Rehab: Dignity and Care Plan Violations - IL
Federal inspectors cited the facility under Tag F0550, which covers resident rights and dignity, specifically the obligation to incorporate a resident's stated needs and choices into their care plan and to make arrangements to meet them. The deficiency affected a small number of residents. Inspectors rated the level of harm as minimal or potential for actual harm, meaning the failure had not yet caused serious injury but carried the risk of it.
The inspection was conducted on November 25, 2025, in response to a complaint.
Care plans are not paperwork formalities. They are the document that tells every nurse, aide, and therapist on every shift what a resident needs, what they want, and how the facility has committed to delivering it. When a resident's choices are left out of that document, the people caring for them have no record of those preferences and no obligation, on paper, to follow them. The gap between what a resident asks for and what staff know to provide can be the difference between a person who feels heard and one who is ignored.
The inspection report does not describe what specific needs or choices were overlooked, or which residents were affected. It does not say whether residents raised concerns directly with staff, whether the omissions were discovered through record review or observation, or how long the gaps had existed before the complaint triggered the inspection.
What the record does say is that someone filed a complaint, inspectors came, and they found the facility had not done what it was supposed to do for the people living there.
Alden Debes Rehab & Health Care Center is located at 550 South Mulford Avenue in Rockford. The facility's provider identification number is 145142. For information on the facility's plan to correct the deficiency, CMS directs the public to contact the nursing home or the Illinois state survey agency directly.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
