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.

Inspection Report Summary for Corydon Specialty Care
The most recent inspection on October 9, 2025 found the facility in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident rights during discharge, care planning, accident prevention, and medication management. Several complaint investigations were substantiated in prior years, including issues with abuse, inadequate nursing supervision, and failure to follow physician orders, but no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints investigated recently were unsubstantiated, and the facility corrected prior deficiencies as verified by re-inspections. The overall trend suggests improvement, with the latest inspections showing compliance after addressing earlier concerns.
