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.
