Serenity Spring Senior Living at Northwood is a 155-bed skilled nursing and residential care community providing skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, and respite care in Jasper, Dubois County, Indiana. Non-profit and legally operated by Greene County General Hospital, the community welcomes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
The inspection record across all four CMS sub-ratings runs below Indiana’s average, producing a 1-star overall rating. Over three years on file, the facility averaged 26 deficiencies annually, 519 percent above the 4.2 state average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions. The May 2024 recertification was the most significant survey in the window, citing 23 deficiencies including use of physical restraints without physician orders or consent, an unreported abuse allegation involving a CNA forcibly removing a resident’s fingers from a mechanical lift, widespread medication management failures, inadequate dementia-specific training, and an unsafe physical environment. The concurrent June 2024 life safety survey found 16 fire and emergency preparedness deficiencies including obstructed egress routes, sprinkler issues, and oxygen storage hazards near combustibles, all corrected on revisit. The February 2023 annual survey documented a resident who fell nine times during the review period, inadequate fall supervision, respiratory care failures, and the absence of a required dementia unit director. A December 2023 complaint investigation substantiated delayed reporting of an abuse allegation to the state agency. The 1-star staffing sub-rating, reflecting case-mix adjusted hours 60.8 percent below Indiana’s average, and Quality Measures similarly 50.6 percent below state benchmark, compound the inspection picture. Occupancy at 55 percent runs well below Indiana’s 68.1 percent average, with the trend declining.
With current availability reflecting below-average occupancy, the facility is geared toward residents in Dubois County who require long-term skilled nursing or memory care.
Serenity Spring Senior Living at Northwood is legally operated by Greene County General Hospital, and administered by Michael Meadows.
