Warren Barr Oak Lawn sits at 9401 South Kostner Avenue in Oak Lawn, Illinois, operating as a for-profit nursing home with 122 certified beds and about 100 residents each day, and since February 2023, it's been managed by Oakway Operations LLC and Legacy Healthcare Financial Services LLC, both tied to Legacy Healthcare. The place serves seniors needing skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, orthopedic care, wound care, memory care, and other medical support like cardiac care, stroke and neurological condition care, pulmonary care, oncology care, and post-surgical recovery, and folks can find specialty services like in-house dialysis and peritoneal dialysis at particular locations along with post-transplant programs and therapy sessions available every day of the week. Nurses watch over residents day and night and give about 3.67 hours of care per resident each day, which is higher than the state average, even if the nurse turnover rate is also higher than usual at 55.9%. There are 22 certified beds open as of June 2025, and the community accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.
The place has gone through big renovations to make things more comfortable and safer for residents, investing in rehabilitation complexes and improving suites, while rooms come with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and sometimes kitchenettes. Guests can use a community dining room where a professional chef handles allergy needs and special diets, and the facility has transportation and parking, plus provides housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help, while social and recreational amenities include things like a movie theater, game rooms, activity rooms, scheduled programs, fitness room, spa, outdoor areas, music options, and walking paths alongside daily community activities. Memory care combines 24-hour supervision and a safe environment with enrichment activities, and the skilled staff offers help with medications, daily needs, and mobility, while wound care gets oversight from certified specialists led by a WCC Nurse Director.
You'll find accreditation for nursing care from The Joint Commission here, plus the Gold Seal of Approval for Post-Acute Care, and US News named it Best Nursing Homes 2025 for short-term rehabilitation. There's a resident council so everyone's voice can get heard about care and services, and the facility tries to support both residents and their families as much as possible, offering virtual and scheduled tours for those who want to see the place. Inspection data shows 28 total deficiencies, including three infection-related issues, and the staff and management, though highly dedicated, face the same complex challenges as many nursing homes, and the building is being upgraded to further enhance comfort and rehabilitation experiences for the people who live there.
