Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
New residents most often arrive under private pay (40% of admissions), and a typical private pay stay runs around 2 - 3 months.
Plainfield Health Care Center is a 189-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community at 3700 Clarks Creek Rd in Plainfield, Indiana, offering skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, and respite services. The facility is operated by Plainfield Care Center, LLC, and has served the area for nearly 30 years.
CMS rates the facility at 2 stars overall — 33.6% below the Indiana average — driven largely by inspection and staffing performance. Total nursing hours average 2 hours and 41 minutes per resident per day, placing the facility 254th out of 287 Indiana SNFs. Quality Measures, by contrast, are 23.5% above the state average, a meaningful split in an otherwise below-average profile.
The inspection record carries the most weight in evaluating this facility. Over the past four years, it has averaged 15.5 deficiencies per year, compared with Indiana’s average of 4.2. A March 2024 Immediate Jeopardy finding — in which a cognitively impaired resident with Alzheimer’s dementia exited a second-story window and sustained serious fractures due to inadequate supervision — represents the most serious single event in the recent record. The facility corrected the IJ, and subsequent standard surveys in April and June 2025 showed compliance. No fines or license actions appear in the available reports.
The facility’s amenities include patio seating, a beauty salon, a resident library, and a quiet room. Clinical services include Sound Telemedicine, wound care, and a certified RN wound care nurse on staff.
Plainfield Health Care Center’s rehabilitation capacity, short-term private rooms, and acceptance of Medicare and Medicaid make it well-suited to post-acute and short-stay residents in the Plainfield and Hendricks County area. Families considering memory care placement should weigh the 2024 elopement finding against the facility’s recent compliance trend.
Plainfield Health Care Center is legally operated by Hendricks County Hospital, and administered by Laura Burton.
