The facility operates as a for-profit corporation and holds certification for both Medicare and Medicaid. It has a total of 97 certified beds and serves residents requiring skilled nursing and long-term care services. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities based on health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Hoosier Health & Living Community holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which is equal to the national average of 3.0 stars. Its health inspection rating is also 3 out of 5, indicating a performance level consistent with the national norm in that category. The staffing rating is 1 out of 5, which falls below the national average and reflects lower levels of nursing staff relative to other certified facilities across the country. In contrast, the quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, the highest possible score, indicating that the facility's reported clinical quality indicators are above those of most comparable facilities nationally. Hoosier Health & Living Community is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility requirements and coverage limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term care for residents who meet financial and medical eligibility criteria under Indiana's state Medicaid program. Individuals and families seeking additional information about coverage and eligibility are encouraged to consult directly with the facility's admissions or billing staff, or to contact the relevant state and federal agencies. When considered against national benchmarks, Hoosier Health & Living Community presents a mixed profile. Its overall 3-star rating aligns with the national average, suggesting a baseline level of performance across combined metrics. The 5-star quality measure rating is a notable distinction, placing the facility among the higher-performing nursing homes in the country for that specific domain. However, the 1-star staffing rating is a data point that prospective residents and their families may wish to examine further, as staffing levels can affect the consistency and availability of direct care. The facility's health inspection rating of 3 stars is in line with the national average, reflecting no significant divergence from expected standards in that area. This data is drawn from CMS reporting and is subject to periodic updates as new inspection and staffing information becomes available.
