SCENIC HILLS AT THE MONASTERY

Scenic Hills at the Monastery is a for-profit, corporate-owned skilled nursing facility located at 710 Sunrise Drive in Ferdinand, Indiana (ZIP 47532), in Dubois County. The facility operates 88 certified beds and is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. It can be reached by phone at (812) 504-2048. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are based on three primary components: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Scenic Hills at the Monastery received a 4-star health inspection rating, indicating performance above the national average in this category. Its quality measure rating of 5 stars, the highest possible, reflects performance that surpasses national benchmarks across the clinical quality indicators tracked by CMS. The staffing rating of 1 star, however, indicates staffing levels that fall below national averages. Staffing ratings account for both the volume of nursing hours per resident per day and the consistency of staffing over time. Scenic Hills at the Monastery is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning it is equipped to serve residents who rely on either federal program for payment of skilled nursing or long-term care services. Individuals and families seeking care under these programs may inquire directly with the facility regarding current bed availability, payer mix policies, and any applicable private-pay arrangements. The facility's dual certification expands access for a broad range of residents across different financial circumstances. When compared to national averages, Scenic Hills at the Monastery presents a mixed profile. Its overall 4-star rating positions it above the national norm, and its quality measure rating of 5 stars is a notable distinction in clinical performance. The health inspection rating of 4 stars also reflects above-average standing. The 1-star staffing rating, however, represents a significant area where the facility falls short of national benchmarks. Prospective residents and their families reviewing this facility's data should consider all three components together, as each reflects a distinct aspect of facility operations and resident care. All ratings are issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and are subject to periodic updates based on new inspection cycles and reported data.
