Overview of Owen Valley Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Owen Valley Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a 113-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility at 920 W Highway 46 in Spencer, Indiana. Operated as a county-affiliated community and administered by Edward Hughes, the center serves Owen County with orthopedic rehabilitation, cardiac recovery, and specialized stroke programs.

The facility provides licensed medical care under federal Medicare and Medicaid frameworks, primarily focusing on short-stay rehabilitative care with an average residency of 95 days. While the community carries an “Above Average” 4-star overall CMS rating, supported by high-performing quality measures, current 2026 filings show the facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent compliance reviews. Occupancy is approximately 64%, reflecting a stable residential environment that balances post-acute recovery and long-term care.

Direct bedside care is provided 24/7 by a nursing team, though staffing levels vary compared to state norms. Registered Nurse (RN) presence is approximately 32 minutes per resident per day, while Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) hours remain consistent with state averages at 2 hours and 18 minutes. Clinical outcomes are a primary strength; hospitalizations for long-stay residents are 39% lower than the Indiana average, and emergency department visit rates are significantly below state benchmarks. Short-stay re-hospitalization rates also perform roughly 37% better than average, indicating high clinical stability during the transition from hospital to home.

The facility features private and semi-private rooms equipped with safety-focused bathrooms and 24-hour emergency call systems. All-inclusive monthly services cover chef-prepared meals, daily housekeeping, and personal laundry. Shared community spaces include:A specialized therapy gym for physical, occupational, and speech-language pathology, as well as a communal dining room and social lounges.

Residents also have access to an on-site beauty salon and barber shop, while the social calendar features daily wellness activities and intergenerational programming. For medical appointments and community outings, the facility provides scheduled transportation to ensure continued access to the Spencer area.

Those seeking high-quality clinical outcomes and a community-oriented rehabilitative setting in Owen County may find this environment appropriate. Interested individuals should contact the administrator directly to discuss current physical therapist staffing and schedule a tour to assess the 2026 quality performance firsthand.

vs avg

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +6% 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.	28m per day	▼ 29% 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.	49m per day	▲ 6% 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.	2h 57m per day	▼ 9% 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.	0m per day	▼ 100% 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.	20m per day	▼ 27% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
