Life Care Center of Fort Wayne is a 115-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are welcome. Operated by Fort Wayne Operations LLC on Spy Run Avenue in Allen County, the facility has skilled nursing, Alzheimer’s and dementia memory care, rehabilitation, and respite stays with 24-hour staffing.
The 5-star CMS overall rating is anchored by a health inspection sub-rating 83.2 percent above Indiana’s average, the most favorable health inspection score in this review, alongside staffing and quality measures running above state benchmark. Over four years on file, the facility averaged 9.8 deficiencies annually against Indiana’s 4.2 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions, and every complaint investigation returning unsubstantiated. The deficiency record divides cleanly: three minor clinical findings across four annual surveys, an oxygen flow rate set one liter above the physician’s order, a missing vision care plan for a blind resident, and an unsanitary unit refrigerator, alongside recurring life safety surveys that have consistently identified fire system documentation and maintenance gaps. Life safety deficiencies have appeared in every annual life safety survey in the window, with 4, 12, and 8 deficiencies respectively in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all corrected on revisit. No resident care or harm findings of substance exist. Occupancy at 73 percent runs above Indiana’s 68.1 percent average and has trended upward since 2022.
Amenities contain a fine dining program, Community Re-Entry Program, landscaped grounds and courtyards, and a beauty salon and barber shop.
