Dyer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 211-bed skilled nursing facility in Dyer, Indiana, offering 24-hour skilled nursing, post-acute rehabilitation, memory care, and respiratory services, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy available on site. The non-profit community is operated by DLS Financial Consulting, LLC, and it accepts Medicare and Medicaid. The facility carries a 1-star CMS overall rating, driven by an inspection record that stands significantly below Indiana norms. Across the seven-year review window, the facility recorded 79 total citations — roughly 29.8 per year, compared with an Indiana average of 4.2 — placing it 284th out of 288 Indiana skilled nursing facilities in health citations. The most serious finding came in April 2024, when a complaint investigation identified Immediate Jeopardy conditions related to falls and inadequate supervision. Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 26 minutes per resident per day, essentially in line with the Indiana average. The facility’s occupancy rate is 57%, below the Indiana average of 68.1%, reflecting current availability across the 211-bed building. It also provides behavioral management and psychological services alongside its clinical care programs. Respite stays are available. Dyer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is best suited for residents in Lake County, Indiana, who require short- to medium-term post-acute care, skilled nursing, or rehabilitation services, with current capacity for Medicare and Medicaid admissions. However, families should review the facility’s extensive inspection history and Immediate Jeopardy findings before making a placement decision.
