Overview of Ignite Medical Resort Dyer

Ignite Medical Resort Dyer is a 136-bed skilled nursing facility in Dyer, Indiana, providing short-term rehabilitation, memory care, and respite services, positioning itself on a boutique resort model with amenities not commonly found in most skilled nursing facilities. It is operated by Ignite Medical Resort Dyer and administered by Megan Matula, and accepts Medicare

Across 38 visits over its inspection history, the facility recorded 104 total deficiencies — 189% above the Indiana average of 36 — with a per-inspection rate of 2.7 citations compared to the state average of 1.9. Fifteen complaints were filed against the facility, compared with an Indiana average of five; several were substantiated, including findings related to pressure ulcer treatment, timely physician notification, PPE compliance, and tube feeding management. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions appear in the available reports. The most recent inspection, on June 30, 2025, found the facility in full compliance, and both June 2025 visits closed without deficiencies — a shift from the 17-citation routine survey in April and the 8-citation life safety survey in May.

Staffing reflects a mixed picture. RN staffing averages 25 minutes per resident per day, 37% below the Indiana average of 40 minutes — a gap meaningful for residents with complex clinical needs. LPN staffing is notably higher, averaging 1 hour 43 minutes per day compared with the state average of 46 minutes.

Rehabilitation programs include orthopedic recovery, stroke care, cardiac care, pulmonary rehab, infection management, and renal disease management. The facility’s resort-style setting is complemented by a full-service spa, on-site restaurant, Starbucks Café, and concierge services — amenities designed for short-stay patients seeking a higher standard of comfort. The facility’s occupancy rate is 68%, in line with the Indiana average, suggesting current availability.

While Ignite Medical Resort Dyer may suit Medicare short-stay residents seeking specialized rehabilitation programs and higher-end amenities, families should carefully review the facility’s inspection history, substantiated complaints, and more recent compliance improvements.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info 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.
Health Inspection Info 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.
Staffing Info 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.
Quality Measures Info 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.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +165% above 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. 25m per day ▼ 38% 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. 1h 52m per day ▲ 143% 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. 1h 47m per day ▼ 21% 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. 3h 34m per day ▲ 10% State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 11m per day ▲ 165% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m 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. 14m per day ▼ 48% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
