Inspection Report Summary for Indiana Veterans‘ Home

The most recent inspection on June 18, 2025, identified deficiencies related to resident safety during transfers, specifically involving a laceration caused by equipment malfunction and improper securing of lift straps. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving improper use of physical restraints and issues with resident care, including medication administration, infection control, and supervision. Several complaint investigations were substantiated with cited deficiencies, particularly concerning restraint use and resident safety, while many other complaints were found unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions included suspension and reporting of a staff member for abuse related to restraint use, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with resident safety and care practices, with some corrective actions taken promptly, but similar issues have recurred over time.
