Overview of Morgantown Woods of Journey

Morgantown Woods of Journey is a 39-bed nursing home on West Washington Street in Morgantown, Indiana. The facility runs at 90% occupancy, which for a 39-bed operation means 35 residents on most days. Medicaid is accepted.

The Walk Score is 44, which means you need a car for most errands. This is consistent with a small-town Indiana location.

Registered nurses average 39 minutes per resident per day, right at the Indiana state average. Licensed practical nurses contribute 26 minutes, which is 43% below the state average. 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 when you look at the deficiency rate per inspection, it’s 1.7, which is 11% better than the state average. The inspection deficiency rate is 32%, which is 5%age points better than the state average.

What’s concrete and concerning: a Life Safety survey cited 10 deficiencies involving emergency preparedness exercises, emergency lighting, fire alarm and sprinkler testing, and oxygen storage security. The facility also received 3 complaints from residents or families, which is 40% below the state 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.

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.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

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. 39m per day ▼ 3% 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. 26m per day ▼ 43% 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 5m per day ▼ 8% State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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. 2h 52m per day ▼ 11% 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. 0m per day ▼ 100% 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. 32m per day ▲ 20% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 29m per day
