Overview of Life Care Center of Lagrange

Life Care Center of LaGrange is an 87-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in LaGrange, LaGrange County, Indiana, operated by Lagrange Medical Investors Limited Partnership. Accepted: Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Offered are skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, independent and assisted living, and respite care with 24-hour staffing.

Staffing is the facility’s clearest strength, the CMS 5-star staffing sub-rating reflects case-mix adjusted hours 56.9 percent above Indiana average, and nurse hours of 4h 9m per resident day run 18 percent above state benchmark. The 4-star CMS overall rating reflects a health inspection sub-rating 46.5 percent above Indiana average. Over four years on file, the facility averaged 10.5 deficiencies annually, 150 percent above Indiana’s 4.2 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions. A March 2023 substantiated complaint found weekend nurse hours as low as 0.53 hours per resident day, with fall prevention interventions and personal care unmet for two residents as a direct result , a finding in contrast to current staffing ratings and suggests meaningful improvement since then. The June 2023 annual survey cited environmental disrepair across five of five resident rooms, code status documentation gaps, and unimplemented care plans for weight loss and PTSD. Environmental disrepair appeared anew in the March 2024 survey, triggering a quality improvement plan deficiency. Life safety surveys in both 2023 and 2024 cited fire system documentation and emergency preparedness gaps, all corrected on revisit. Occupancy has risen from roughly 43 residents in 2022–2023 to full capacity by June 2025, indicating strong local demand.

Amenities contain a fine dining program, Community Re-Entry Program, landscaped grounds and courtyards, and a beauty salon and barber shop.

With staffing depth above state norms and full occupancy in the latest inspection, the facility in LaGrange County is constructed for long-term skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation.

6 of 6 metrics below 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. 38m per day ▼ 5% 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. 42m per day ▼ 8% 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. 2h 4m per day ▼ 9% 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 6m per day ▼ 4% 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. 2m per day ▼ 58% 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. 25m per day ▼ 6% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
