Located in Henry, Illinois, Heartland of Henry is the sole option we found in this area. Sporting an overall grade of B-, this is likely a middle of the road facility. At the end of the day, this place is a good fit for quite a few people. One of the major highlights of this nursing home's profile is its stellar inspection rating, which is addressed in the next paragraph.
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than the facility's overall score. Inspection scores are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
In addition, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+ in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive scores. In forming these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Illinois in this area with 60 percent of its residents returning home.

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
This facility's weakest area is long-term care, which is the final category we assessed. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the facility did not perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 89.617485 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.52 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
