Overview of Alpha Home – a Waters Community

Alpha Home – a Waters Community is an 86-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility at 2640 Cold Spring Rd in Indianapolis, Indiana, operated as a nonprofit under Henry County Memorial Hospital. The community offers long-term skilled nursing, memory care, respite care, and short-term rehabilitation and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

The facility holds a 2-star CMS overall rating, driven largely by a Health Inspection score 63.4% below the Indiana average. Across inspections from 2022 through mid-2025, the facility averaged roughly 10.5 deficiencies per year — two and a half times the Indiana average of 4.2.

The September 2024 annual survey cited 14 deficiencies, including an actual-harm finding tied to a bus transport accident, along with gaps in medication management, care planning, and resident dignity. Substantiated complaints during the same period included a pressure ulcer that required hospitalization, a four-month lapse in physician orders for a resident’s tracheostomy care, and an employee’s unauthorized use of $15,179 from a resident’s debit card. No fines or immediate jeopardy findings appear in the available records. The most recent visit, in June 2025, found the facility in full compliance.

Staffing averages 2 hours and 57 minutes of total nursing care per resident per day, ranking 208th of 287 Indiana facilities — 21.6% below the state average. CNA staffing averages 1 hour and 50 minutes compared with the state’s 2 hours and 16 minutes. Quality measures are the outlier, scoring 23.5% above the Indiana average. Clinical programs include Memory Springs, Comprehensive Wound Care, Respiratory Services, Living Well, and In Motion.

Alpha Home – a Waters Community’s rehabilitation capacity, Medicaid acceptance, and memory care and respiratory programming make it suited for residents requiring post-acute skilled care or longer-term nursing support in the West Indianapolis area.

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +16% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	27m per day	▼ 32% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	53m per day	▲ 16% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	1h 56m per day	▼ 15% State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 0m per day	▼ 7% State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	1m per day	▼ 77% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	24m per day	▼ 12% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
