Nurse aides deliver 2 hours 5 minutes, slightly below state average. Weekend staffing totals 2 hours 52 minutes, down 12% from the weekday-plus state benchmark of 3 hours 14 minutes.
Four years of data show 53 deficiencies, which is 47% above the Indiana average. The facility faced 31 on-site visits, also 63% above average.

But those 3 complaints generated 17 complaint investigation visits, which is 113% above the state average.
This is a small facility with consistent local demand but documented gaps in emergency preparedness and safety systems. The staffing profile is adequate for daily care but carries risks in RN availability and lacks dedicated PT, which matters if this place positions itself for post-acute rehab.
