Overview of Life Care Center of Rochester

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.

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.

vs avg

3 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +56% 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. 38m per day ▼ 4% 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 12m per day ▲ 56% 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 59m per day ▼ 12% 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 23m per day ▲ 5% 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. 1m per day ▼ 81% 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. 38m per day ▲ 41% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
