Heartland Nursing & Rehab Center

Heartland Nursing & Rehab Center earns 4 out of 5 stars overall, which means it performs above average when CMS weighs everything together. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, which is average, meaning state inspectors found a typical number and severity of issues during their visits. Nothing alarming, but it's worth asking the facility what citations were cited and how they were addressed. Staffing is where Heartland really stands out, earning a perfect 5 stars, which tells you nurses are spending significantly more time with residents than you'd find at most facilities. That matters day-to-day in ways families feel quickly, like call lights getting answered, medications given on time, and staff who actually know your loved one. The quality measures rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning resident health outcomes like rates of falls, pressure sores, and hospital readmissions are better than average across the 15 clinical areas CMS tracks. Taken together, the picture is genuinely encouraging. The staffing and quality scores carry a lot of weight here, and both are strong. The average health inspection score keeps the overall rating from climbing to 5 stars, but it doesn't suggest anything alarming on its own. For most families, a facility with excellent staffing and strong health outcomes is exactly the right foundation to build from, and this one appears to offer both.
