Overview of Charles Ford Memorial Home

Facebook Instagram

Charles Ford Memorial Home is a 35-bed nonprofit assisted living community at 920 S. Main Street in New Harmony, Indiana. Managed by administrator Amy Knopf-Koch, with medical direction by Dr. Joseph Lee and nursing oversight by Kimberly Catt, the facility serves the Church Street neighborhood under a license active through September 2025. The community provides assisted living, respite care, and rehabilitation services within a small-scale, historic residential setting.

The community operates as a voluntary nonprofit with a BBB A+ rating and a mission-driven approach to senior housing. While the facility does not carry a CMS star rating, current 2026 filings show that the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent complaint investigation. Occupancy is approximately 63%, with 22 of 35 beds filled, reflecting steady growth from early 2024. The community focuses on a private-pay resident model and does not explicitly list Medicaid acceptance.

Direct bedside support is provided 24/7 by a team of licensed nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). A significant differentiator for this community is its caregiver turnover rate, which is reported as ten times lower than comparable healthcare settings, indicating high staff retention and continuity of care. The clinical model coordinates complex services such as hospice care, mobile X-ray and lab services, and pharmacy medication management. Regulatory records from 2024 noted past challenges in food container labeling and insulin pen priming techniques, which have been addressed through ongoing staff training and corrective action plans.

Residents live in an intimate 35-bed environment featuring safety monitoring systems, cable TV, and wireless internet. All-inclusive monthly services cover chef-inspired dining with resident-preference menus, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry.

Shared community spaces support diverse activities such as gardening and local golf cart rides, capitalizing on the facility’s location in a historic small town. The social calendar includes health and wellness programming and scheduled transportation for errands and local outings. For specialized needs, the facility coordinates home health and salon services to ensure a comprehensive service package on-site.

Those seeking a community-rooted nonprofit option with exceptionally low staff turnover and 24/7 nursing availability may find this environment appropriate. Interested individuals should contact the administrator directly to discuss current food safety monitoring and medication administration training protocols to assess 2026 quality performance firsthand.
