What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★★★★5/5 · CMS overall rating: 5/5

The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.

All citations in the current public record (4)

CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

Date	Severity	What the facility was cited for
Sep 15, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not label drugs according to professional standards or did not store them in locked compartments, with controlled drugs (medications with a high risk of misuse) kept under a separate lock. · from a complaint
Jul 12, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not keep residents' personal and medical information private and confidential.
Jun 27, 2023	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not get its food from approved, safe sources, or did not store, prepare, and serve food according to professional food safety standards.
Jun 27, 2023	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not provide or obtain laboratory tests when a doctor ordered them, or did not promptly report the results back to the doctor who ordered them.

Inspection trend by year

Year	Citations	Worst severity that year
2023	2	E
2024	1	D
2025	1	D

Counts reflect the current CMS public record (~3 inspection cycles plus complaint investigations); years with no surveys show no row. Inspection frequency varies, so compare severity as well as counts.

Fines and enforcement (last 3 years)

No fines or payment denials in the published 3-year window.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)

Measure	This facility	Indiana avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	3.45	3.42	3.95	top 39% in Indiana; bottom 34% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.76	0.62	0.69	top 23% in Indiana; top 31% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	3.07	3.01	3.50	top 37% in Indiana; bottom 35% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.39	0.47	0.48	bottom 47% in Indiana; top 49% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	62.0	45.9	45.8	bottom 9% in Indiana; bottom 14% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	45.0	40.4	42.9	bottom 40% in Indiana; bottom 44% in the U.S.

Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.41, RN 0.75, weekend 3.04. Staffing rating: 3/5.

Self-reported quality measures

Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.

Quality measures rating: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 2/5
