Overview of Waters of Hartford City Skilled Nursing Facility

Waters of Hartford City is a 65-bed facility that blends post-acute physical rehabilitation with extended long-term nursing care. The building maintains a 60% occupancy rate, which trails the Indiana baseline, and logs a 99-day average length of stay. While the broader admission pipeline is split quite evenly between short-stay Medicare clients (46%) and private-pay individuals (45%), long-term Medicaid recipients account for 77.5% of the active daily resident census. Financial summaries point to tight operational margins, with the property logging a $90.5 thousand operating deficit (a negative 2.0% margin) in 2023, while dedicating a stable 53.2% of its gross revenue directly to employee payroll.

State oversight databases record an excellent regulatory track record and solid daily care hours, though clinical charts reflect a few major localized medical gaps. Direct nursing lines supply 3 hours and 27 minutes of care per resident daily, running 18% ahead of the state average, driven by a heavy licensed practical nurse presence. On the compliance side, regulators have logged only four total deficiencies since 2022, which sits 89% better than the Indiana baseline, and the provider carries zero history of federal financial penalties.

A recent February 2025 health and life safety review came back completely clean with zero citations, while past inspections turned up only isolated, corrected points involving a delayed administrative screening, an unapproved power strip, and skin care updates. Clinical metrics reveal strong short-term recovery success, documenting a 59% community discharge rate and low hospital readmissions. However, permanent resident charts flag serious chronic care challenges, reporting a 10.7% rate for skin pressure ulcers and high local depression indicators, while short-stay rehab files note a 5.0% rate for major injury falls.

Prospective residents evaluating area short-term physical therapy options or long-term nursing setups can use these public health logs to analyze the provider’s operational baseline. The state’s paperwork outlines a quiet, low-occupancy facility that maintains a near-flawless multi-year regulatory record and robust front-line caregiver hours, balanced against a small business deficit and notable physical safety and wound-tracking challenges.

vs avg

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +42% 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.	33m per day	▼ 17% 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.	1h 5m per day	▲ 42% 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 14m per day	■ Avg 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 9m per day	▼ 3% 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.	1m per day	▼ 68% 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.	16m per day	▼ 42% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
