Wellbrooke of Carmel (formerly Wellbrooke of Avon) is a 70-bed skilled nursing and assisted living facility at 12315 Pennsylvania Street in Carmel, Indiana. Owned by Witham Memorial Hospital and operated by Trilogy Health Services, the community serves Hamilton County under the leadership of Executive Director Danielle Minito.
The community provides a care continuum including short-term rehabilitation, memory care, and traditional long-term nursing. It currently maintains a 4-star overall CMS rating, supported by a 4-star health inspection score and a 5-star quality measures rating. While historical records indicate a cycle of deficiencies, recent 2026 data shows that the facility currently maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent standard survey. Average length of stay is 56 days, reflecting a high volume of Medicare-supported rehabilitative admissions.
Staffing levels are characterized by high clinical oversight, with Registered Nurse (RN) hours at 1 hour and 18 minutes per resident per day, 95% above the Indiana state average. Total nursing hours reach 3 hours and 7 minutes per day, supported by a 2.27:1 resident-to-staff ratio that trends slightly better than regional benchmarks. The clinical team coordinates specialized wound care, physical therapy (performing 25% above state norms), and speech-language services. Long-stay quality outcomes are particularly strong, with a 1.4% major injury fall rate and a urinary tract infection prevalence of zero.
The campus features a modern, hospitality-focused design with private and semi-private rooms equipped with emergency call systems and safety-focused bathrooms. All-inclusive monthly fees cover three chef-prepared meals daily in a bistro-style dining room, as well as weekly housekeeping and personal laundry.
Common areas include a private movie theater, a full-service salon, and secure walking paths designed for physical engagement. Residents benefit from a social calendar featuring educational workshops, live entertainment, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and shopping trips.
Those seeking high-intensity clinical care or short-term recovery in a suburban setting may find this community appropriate. Prospective residents should contact the administrator directly to discuss current staffing levels and schedule a tour to assess the 2026 quality performance and residential neighborhoods firsthand.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

| 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 18m per day | ▲ 96% 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.
| 34m per day | ▼ 27% 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 15m 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 36m per day | ▲ 11% 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.
| 5m per day | ▲ 34% 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.
| 58m per day | ▲ 116% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
