Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5 · how star ratings work →
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 quality measures from resident assessments and claims.
Showing the latest 3 of 25 inspection findings. Open the full record below to read every finding.

What these staffing numbers mean →
All bars start at zero. Exact values and supporting details remain below.
| Measure | This facility | Indiana avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 2.75 | 3.42 | 3.95 | bottom 13% in Indiana; bottom 7% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.46 | 0.62 | 0.69 | bottom 31% in Indiana; bottom 32% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.50 | 3.01 | 3.50 | bottom 18% in Indiana; bottom 9% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.32 | 0.47 | 0.48 | bottom 28% in Indiana; bottom 37% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 46.6 | 45.9 | 45.8 | bottom 47% in Indiana; bottom 46% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 40.0 | 40.4 | 42.9 | top 49% in Indiana; top 46% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day for the most recent quarter of payroll data in this CMS release (2026-08-01) — the same quarter for every facility — 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 3.29, RN 0.55, weekend 3.00.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.29 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 2/5.
Note: CMS combines facility-reported resident assessments (MDS) with claims-based measures. These are different sources from on-site inspection findings. Read the measures alongside inspection and staffing records; a high QM rating does not establish that a home is safe.
Quality measures rating: 3/5 · long-stay residents: 3/5 · short-stay residents: —/5
