Individuals seeking information about private pay or other insurance options should contact the facility directly at (260) 484-9557. When compared against national benchmarks, Heritage Park presents a mixed profile across its component ratings. The overall 5-star rating places the facility in the highest tier nationally, driven in part by its strong quality measure score of 5 stars. The health inspection rating of 4 stars also exceeds the national average. However, the staffing rating of 2 stars falls below the national average, which may be a relevant consideration for those evaluating care resources. National averages for all three components are set at 3.0 stars, providing a baseline for comparison. The facility's overall rating reflects a composite of these three components as calculated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
