Individuals and families seeking information about coverage options should contact the facility directly at (765) 724-4478 or consult with a benefits counselor familiar with Indiana Medicaid programs. When compared to national benchmarks, Alexandria Care Center presents a mixed profile. Its overall rating of 4 stars and health inspection rating of 4 stars are above the national average of 3.0 stars, suggesting relatively favorable performance in inspection-related metrics. However, both the staffing and quality measure ratings at 2 stars indicate areas where the facility performs below national norms. As a county government-operated facility, it is publicly accountable to local government oversight in addition to federal and state regulatory requirements.
