Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
Most new residents arrive under Medicaid (58% of admissions), and a typical Medicaid stay runs around 4 - 5 months.
Brickyard Healthcare – Richmond Care Center is an 87-bed nursing home and skilled nursing facility in Richmond, Indiana, offering respite care alongside long-term and short-term stays. The facility is legally operated by Hendricks County Hospital and owned by Brickyard Richmond LLC. Day-to-day leadership includes administrator Joanne Denney and director of nursing Laura Fortkamp. The center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several paths to cover care.
Clinically, the center is built for residents with more complex medical needs. Alongside 24-hour staffing, it offers on-site dialysis, stroke care, diabetic and pulmonary management, cognitive training, IV therapy, and restorative services, plus outpatient therapy for residents who need ongoing rehabilitation. Total nursing care runs about 3 hours and 26 minutes per resident each day. That combination of specialty services suggests the center is set up to support residents with involved, ongoing medical needs rather than short recovery stays alone.
That leans out in the numbers: the average length of stay is 109 days, and the facility runs at about 78 percent occupancy. The center holds a 2018 Bronze Quality Award from the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living. It has been operating for one year under its current ownership and license.
State inspections through Indiana’s Department of Health have most often focused on staffing levels, wound and pressure-ulcer care, safe resident transfers, abuse-reporting protocols, and documentation practices, with more recent reviews pointing toward improved compliance. Families touring the center may want to ask staff directly how these areas are monitored day to day.
Outside of clinical care, residents have access to transportation, a salon, arts and crafts, cable TV, housekeeping, and laundry, with private suites available and linens provided. The center sits in a very walkable part of Richmond, with a Walk Score of 76, meaning many nearby errands can be handled on foot. That neighborhood setting can make it easier for visiting family to combine errands with regular visits.
