Inspection Reports for Waldron Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center
505 N MAIN ST, IN, 46182
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on June 30, 2025, found the facility in compliance with complaint investigation requirements and no deficiencies were cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of some deficiencies related mainly to documentation accuracy, resident care planning, medication management, and safety measures such as fall prevention and environmental cleanliness. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues with misappropriation of medications and resident funds, as well as incomplete care planning and safety interventions, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and the facility corrected cited deficiencies when found. The trend suggests improvement over time, with recent inspections showing fewer or no deficiencies compared to earlier reports.
