An 137-bed senior care community on East Main Street, Ambassador Healthcare provides nursing services in Centerville, Indiana. Run by administrator Jared Glaub alongside Medical Director David DeSantis and Nursing Director Dawn Imel, the building keeps its beds about 77 percent full. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, with residents staying an average of 126 days for either brief post-hospital rehab or permanent clinical placement.
The nursing staff provides about 3 hours and 34 minutes of direct care to each resident every day to keep up with around-the-clock medical oversight. Most of that hands-on help comes from nurse aides, who cover 2 hours and 34 minutes, while registered nurses handle 55 minutes and licensed practical nurses cover the remaining 41 minutes. Clinically, the building stands out for having its own inpatient dialysis center, along with a ventilator unit, a mental health program, and a secure memory care wing.
A state complaint investigation cleared the facility with zero deficiencies, while standard routine reviews required the team to correct issues involving personal privacy, call light access, skin care, and fire alarm maintenance. Outside the building, the location scores a 49 for walkability, so family members can expect a short drive for most visits.
Interested individuals can call the main desk to see which private or semi-private rooms are open, ask about the dialysis setup, or book a walkthrough. The front office can also break down the financial eligibility rules and give you the standard onboarding forms.
Ambassador Healthcare is legally operated by Board Of Trustees Of The Flavius J Witham Memorial, and administered by Jared Glaub.
