Altenheim Family-first Senior Living
Overview of Altenheim Family-first Senior Living
Over 32 acres of friendly and beautiful environment, Altenheim is definitely a nurturing community for families. They offer an array of services as an independent living facility with assisted living and memory care options. They follow a philosophy called Family-first, which dates way back to 1977 when CarDon & Associates was first established. This community group now extends throughout south-central Indiana and has involved all members to prioritize each resident’s personal care. They ensure that residents are able to feel a sense of comfort and joy with their time at the community, as well as opportunities to socialize, enjoy, and learn– considering that it’s a community with a stimulating environment.
Altenheim promotes an oasis-kind of escape found in their own community. The community has a list of services that puts the well-being of residents first– personalized care plan with assessment and development; 24-hour nursing services available everyday; social, cultural, and educational activities and programs. Community amenities and features include emergency response system, paved walking paths, chapel with organ, scheduled transportation, weekly housekeeping and linen services, laundry services, and restaurant-style dining rooms– to name a few of the services they offer to make the lives of each resident hassle-free.
Daniel W. Moore is a licensed health facility administrator who has served as administrator of CarDon’s Health & Living Communities in Paoli, Sullivan, and Indianapolis. He coordinated the planning and construction of Bell Trace and Brookside Village in Jasper. Daniel currently serves as executive vice president of CarDon’s board of directors, bringing extensive leadership experience to the community.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
