About Nursing Home Care in East Peoria
The nursing home market in East Peoria, IL, presents a concerning landscape for families seeking care options. With only two facilities available, the choices are limited and come with significant caveats. The standout is Heddington Oaks, which, while not perfect, offers a more favorable environment than its counterpart. However, families should proceed with caution, as both facilities have notable concerns, making this a challenging market for nursing home care.
When considering options, Heddington Oaks is worth a visit, particularly because it boasts a clean record with zero fines in the last three years. Unfortunately, the other facility, Fondulac Rehabilitation & HCC, is on the CMS Special Focus list, which raises serious red flags for prospective residents. If you are open to exploring nearby cities, consider facilities in Peoria or Morton, which may offer better-rated options.
Families should steer clear of Fondulac Rehabilitation & HCC due to its troubling history of abuse citations and its designation as a Special Focus Facility. These serious issues indicate a lack of oversight and care quality that should not be overlooked. A practical tip: when visiting any facility, pay close attention to the staff-to-resident interactions and the overall cleanliness of the environment, as these factors can significantly impact your loved one's care experience.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions

0 East Peoria facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
East Peoria has no non-profit nursing homes—all 2 facilities with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 2 of 2 facilities are chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average. The absence of non-profit options in East Peoria may be worth noting. Families seeking non-profit care should consider facilities in surrounding areas.
Ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Several for-profit facilities in East Peoria perform well. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports rather than ownership type alone.
