Overview of Life Care Center of Valparaiso

Life Care Center of Valparaiso is a 110-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility operated by Valparaiso Operations, LLC in Valparaiso, Indiana. Situated in Porter County near Porter Health Care System, the facility offers skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, and respite care with 24-hour staffing. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

All four CMS sub-ratings sit above Indiana’s average, producing a 5-star overall rating. The staffing sub-rating reflects case-mix adjusted hours 56.9 percent above state benchmark, and Quality Measures run 23.5 percent above Indiana average. Over four years on file, the facility averaged 6.5 deficiencies annually, 55 percent above Indiana’s average of 4.2, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions, and every complaint investigation returning unsubstantiated. Deficiencies have focused in care planning and clinical monitoring rather than acute harm: skin condition monitoring and wound care gaps have appeared in three of four annual surveys, kitchen sanitation was cited in both 2022 and 2023, and antibiotic stewardship was flagged in consecutive years before dropping from the record. No deficiency in the window involves resident abuse or a serious adverse outcome. Occupancy at 88 percent runs well above Indiana’s 68.1 percent average.

A certified activity director and certified dietitian are on staff. Amenities feature a fine dining program, Community Re-Entry Program for discharge planning, landscaped grounds and courtyards, and a beauty salon and barber shop.

Life Care Center of Valparaiso suits Porter County residents seeking post-acute rehabilitation or long-term skilled nursing near Valparaiso’s hospital network. It has a clean enforcement record and consistently above-average ratings across all four CMS dimensions.
