Overview of Brickyard Healthcare – Elkhart Care Center

Brickyard Healthcare – Elkhart Care Center is a 175-bed skilled nursing facility in Elkhart, Indiana, providing short- and long-term care, including rehabilitation, memory, respite, dialysis, and pulmonary care, and is operated by Elkhart Operating LLC. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

The facility holds a 1-star overall CMS rating — the lowest tier — with a health inspection score 63.4% below the Indiana average. Across inspections since 2023, the facility has recorded approximately 17.7 deficiencies per year, more than four times the state average of 4.2.

Significant findings include two resident deaths: one linked to inadequate catheter care resulting in sepsis (March 2023) and one tied to improper diet supervision resulting in choking (April 2023). A January 2025 complaint was substantiated for failure to report an allegation of staff misconduct involving a resident in a timely manner. The most recent complaint investigation, in April 2025, found no deficiencies.

Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 8 minutes per resident per day, ranking 185th of 287 Indiana skilled nursing facilities — roughly 22% below the state average. The facility provides 24-hour nursing services alongside clinical programs including IV therapy, tracheostomy-level care, and cognitive training. Private suites are available. The facility’s occupancy rate is 74%, modestly above Indiana’s average of 68.1%.

With a Medicaid-predominant census and clinical capacity spanning dialysis, wound care, tracheostomy, and PICC line management, the facility is suited for residents with complex medical needs seeking long-term placement or post-acute care in the Elkhart area. However, families should carefully review the facility’s inspection history, staffing levels, and prior resident safety findings before making a placement decision.

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 20m per day ▼ 50% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 44m per day ▼ 5% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 16m per day ■ Avg State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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. 2h 55m per day ▼ 10% State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day

Weekend RN Info 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. 13m per day ▼ 51% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
