Life Care Center of Rochester is a 108-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility operated by Rochester Medical Investors Limited Partnership in Rochester, Indiana. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are welcome. Located in Fulton County, the facility offers skilled nursing, a secured Alzheimer’s and dementia unit, rehabilitation, memory care, and respite care with 24-hour staffing.
The inspection record drives the 2-star CMS overall rating. Over three years on file, the facility averaged 18.7 deficiencies annually, 345 percent above Indiana’s 4.2 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions. The most serious findings in the window involve resident safety failures: the June 2023 annual survey cited abuse prevention failures for two residents and documented 2 new deep tissue injuries in one resident; a November 2023 complaint investigation found the facility failed to notify the state agency of a resident suicide attempt, failed to remove environmental hazards after the attempt, and failed to act on the resident’s prior suicidal statements. A November 2024 complaint was substantiated after inadequate supervision allowed an alert male resident to enter a cognitively impaired female resident’s room and expose himself. Recurring environmental deficiencies, unsanitary kitchens, stained and malodorous common areas, medication storage failures, appear in 2023 and 2024 surveys. Life safety surveys in 2023 and 2024 produced 14 and 15 deficiencies respectively, concentrated in emergency preparedness documentation and fire system maintenance. Raw nurse hours of 3h 54m per resident day rank 56th among 287 Indiana facilities; however, the CMS case-mix adjusted staffing sub-rating of 21.6 percent below average indicates the resident acuity exceeds what the staffing hours reflect. Occupancy stands at 43 percent, well below Indiana’s 68.1 percent average and among the lowest in this review.
Amenities include a fine dining program, Community Re-Entry Program, landscaped grounds and courtyards, and a beauty salon and barber shop. The secured dementia unit caters to residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
With significant availability given current occupancy, Life Care Center of Rochester is built for long-term skilled nursing and secured memory care in Fulton County.
Life Care Center of Rochester is legally operated by Hendricks County Hospital, and administrated by Kimberly Ready.
