CHATEAU REHABILITATION AND HEALTHCARE CENTER

Chateau Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a for-profit, corporately owned skilled nursing facility located at 6006 Brandy Chase Cove in Fort Wayne, Indiana (Allen County), ZIP code 46815. The facility operates with 99 certified beds and is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. It can be reached by phone at (260) 486-3001. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are based on three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Chateau Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center received a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5, indicating a greater number or severity of deficiencies identified during state inspection surveys compared to the national norm. The staffing rating is 2 out of 5, reflecting staffing levels that are below the national average across nursing staff categories. In contrast, the quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, the highest possible score in this category, indicating that the facility performs well on clinical outcome indicators used by CMS to assess resident care. Chateau Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning it is authorized to accept residents whose care is funded through either federal program. Individuals relying on Medicare for short-term skilled nursing care following a hospital stay, or those who qualify for Medicaid for longer-term custodial care, may be eligible to receive services at this facility. Prospective residents and families should contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits counselor to confirm current coverage and availability. When considered against national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile. Its overall 2-star rating is below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in part by its 1-star health inspection rating, which represents the lowest tier in that category. The 2-star staffing rating also indicates below-average staffing relative to other certified nursing facilities nationwide. However, the 5-star quality measure rating is a notable distinction, placing the facility among the highest-performing facilities in that specific metric. The quality measure component reflects data on areas such as resident mobility, medication use, and other clinical indicators tracked over time. Families and case managers reviewing this facility are encouraged to consider all three component ratings alongside other factors, including facility tours, state inspection reports available through CMS, and individual care needs, when making placement decisions.
