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

Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5

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 (40)

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
Mar 30, 2026	F · Potential for harm, facility-wide	The facility did not have enough nursing staff each day to meet every resident's needs, or did not have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Adequate staffing is one of the strongest predictors of good care. · from a complaint

These require regular, skilled attention to stay clean and healthy. · from a complaint
Mar 27, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility's medication error rate was 5 percent or higher — meaning too many doses were given incorrectly, such as the wrong drug, dose, or time. · from a complaint

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)	5.05	3.42	3.95	top 3% in Indiana; top 13% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.39	0.62	0.69	bottom 14% in Indiana; bottom 20% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	4.87	3.01	3.50	top 2% in Indiana; top 7% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.33	0.47	0.48	bottom 30% in Indiana; bottom 38% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	59.6	45.9	45.8	bottom 14% in Indiana; bottom 17% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	66.7	40.4	42.9	bottom 12% in Indiana; bottom 15% 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 5.58, RN 0.43, weekend 5.38. 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.
