Overview of Life Care Center of the Willows

Life Care Center of the Willows is a 92-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Valparaiso, Indiana, which serves Porter County residents. Skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, and respite care with 24-hour staffing are offered. Accepted: Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

The inspection record defines the 2-star CMS overall rating. Over three years on file, the facility averaged 21.7 deficiencies annually, 417 percent above Indiana’s average of 4.2 , with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions. The January 2024 cycle was the most significant in the window, with simultaneous 13-deficiency annual and life safety surveys. The annual findings spanned ADL care failures for three residents, a care plan not completed within 48 hours of admission, seizure and fall safety failures, unnecessary drug use across three residents, and an environment with marred walls, cracked fixtures, and dirty floors in both units; the concurrent life safety survey found sprinkler heads obstructed and coated in debris, fire and smoke dampers not inspected since 2020, and corridor doors propped open. Two substantiated complaint findings involve abuse reporting failures: a May 2023 investigation found verbal abuse not timely reported to the state agency, and a March 2024 investigation found an abuse allegation involving a CNA not reported at all to the Indiana Department of Health. An April 2023 substantiated complaint identified missing care plans for a resident with escalating self-harm behaviors and failure to engage psychiatric services.
