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

Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · 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-0755 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not provide pharmacy services that meet each resident's needs, or did not employ or contract with a licensed pharmacist.

Why it matters: Weak pharmacy services lead to medication mistakes, delays, and missed drug interactions that can seriously harm residents.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

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)	4.17	3.42	3.95	top 11% in Indiana; top 33% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.59	0.62	0.69	top 44% in Indiana; top 49% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	3.36	3.01	3.50	top 22% in Indiana; top 50% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.43	0.47	0.48	top 46% in Indiana; top 44% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	67.7	45.9	45.8	bottom 4% in Indiana; bottom 8% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	77.8	40.4	42.9	bottom 3% in Indiana; bottom 7% 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 4.33, RN 0.61, weekend 3.48. Staffing rating: 2/5.

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.
