Overview of The Villages at Oak Ridge

The Villages at Oak Ridge is a 96-bed mixed-acuity campus managed by Daviess County Hospital that combines independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing units. The operation tracks a low 54% building occupancy rate and leans heavily on short-stay Medicare rehabilitation admissions, which make up 63% of overall incoming volume. The remaining population consists of Medicaid (22%) and private-pay (15%) residents. Business logs show a razor-thin recovery from past deficits, reporting a 2023 operating profit margin of 1.0%, while channeling 53.9% of its total revenue back into employee payroll.

State health department files highlight massive daily physical therapy hours but show recurring nursing oversight issues and sharp contrasts in resident clinical charts. Everyday direct care lines provide 3 hours and 31 minutes of nursing care per resident daily, with registered nurse hours running 30% ahead of the Indiana average and dedicated physical therapy tracking 150% above the state norm. This therapy focus matches a 60.2% successful short-stay community discharge rate, though short-term emergency room visits run quite high.

On the regulatory side, the property compiled 15 total citations over a five-year window, with zero federal financial fines on record. A May 2025 follow-up review noted full regulatory compliance, but the preceding April 2025 annual inspection flagged five deficiencies, including short-staffing on seven separate days, bathing gaps, missing oxygen setups, and poor catheter care. Older 2023 and 2024 records similarly noted catheter errors, unlocked medicine carts, and an underqualified dementia unit director. Long-term clinical files mirror these technical gaps, showing that permanent resident urinary tract infections, major injury falls, and hospitalizations all trend significantly higher than state averages.

Older adults looking into regional short-term physical rehabilitation or multi-level retirement options can use these state registry reports to look over the provider’s recent performance. The public records outline a quiet, low-occupancy campus that offers strong daily therapy staffing and good short-term discharge numbers, but continues to manage recurring medical paperwork errors and elevated long-stay physical safety risks.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +126% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) 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.	1h 1m per day	▲ 54% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN 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.	38m per day	▼ 17% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide 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 2m per day	▼ 10% State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing 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.	3h 10m per day	■ Avg State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist 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.	9m per day	▲ 126% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN 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.	41m per day	▲ 53% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
