What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5
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.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Nov 13, 2025 · F-0744 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide the right treatment and services for residents with dementia or signs of dementia. Dementia care requires specific approaches, training, and patience.
Why it matters: Poor dementia care can lead to distress, unsafe wandering, or unnecessary sedating medication.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Dec 9, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Aug 21, 2024 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Sep 10, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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) | 3.62 | 3.42 | 3.95 | top 29% in Indiana; bottom 42% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.53 | 0.62 | 0.69 | bottom 43% in Indiana; bottom 42% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.27 | 3.01 | 3.50 | top 26% in Indiana; bottom 45% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.48 | 0.47 | 0.48 | top 36% in Indiana; top 36% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 58.8 | 45.9 | 45.8 | bottom 16% in Indiana; bottom 18% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 64.7 | 40.4 | 42.9 | bottom 13% in Indiana; bottom 16% 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 3.83, RN 0.56, weekend 3.46. Staffing rating: 2/5.
Self-reported quality measures
