This home is ranked 67th out of 267 homes in Indiana.| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 46m per day | ▲ 15% 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.
| 51m per day | ▲ 11% 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.
| 2h 1m per day | ▼ 11% State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 14m per day | ■ Avg 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.
| 5m per day | ▲ 25% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 31m per day | ▲ 15% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on May 28, 2025, identified a deficiency related to a staff member’s failure to use a gait belt during a resident transfer, which resulted in a fall with injury; this issue was corrected prior to the survey. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving quality of care, medication management, accident prevention, and safety measures such as fire and life safety code compliance. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including medication errors, inadequate cancer care, and failure to secure residents’ property, while many other complaints were found unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows ongoing challenges in care and safety areas, with some corrections made promptly but no clear overall trend of sustained improvement.
