Overview of Cedars The

Operated by Adams County Memorial Hospital and administered by Amanda Duggan, The Cedars is a skilled nursing home in Leo, Indiana, owned by Chad Forth. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several options for covering care costs. It has only operated for a year and provides skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and residential or assisted living support.

The 78-bed facility has an occupancy rate of 58%. Residents stay an average of 368 days because the community focuses on rehabilitation and post-acute care. Daily nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 51 minutes per resident. Certified nursing aides provide an additional 4 hours and 28 minutes of direct personal care and support each day.

Rehabilitation services and outpatient therapy are available for residents recovering from surgery, hospitalization, and other acute health events. The facility also has 24-hour staffing for continuous skilled nursing support.

The community’s location has a Walk Score of 30, so there’s limited walkability. Some nearby services and errands may be reached on foot, but most trips require transportation.

State inspections identified concerns about fire safety and facilities maintenance systems. However, the facility’s compliance with care protocols has been periodically investigated and corrected. The facility is best suited for residents who require close medical oversight and daily hands-on support within a structured care environment.
