FRANKLIN MEADOWS

Franklin Meadows is a skilled nursing facility located at 1285 W Jefferson St in Franklin, Indiana, within Johnson County. The facility operates under government county ownership and maintains 114 certified beds. It is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, making it eligible to serve residents under either program. 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 calculated using three primary components: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Franklin Meadows earned a 4-star rating in health inspections, indicating a relatively strong survey record compared to other facilities nationally. Its quality measure rating stands at 5 stars, the highest possible score in that category, reflecting clinical outcome data that compares favorably to national benchmarks. However, the staffing rating is 1 star, the lowest possible score, indicating that reported staffing levels fall considerably below national averages. Staffing ratings are based on both the number of nursing hours per resident per day and the consistency of staffing over time. Franklin Meadows accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, which broadens access for residents who rely on federal or state assistance for long-term care costs. Prospective residents and families are advised to contact the facility directly at (317) 736-9113 to confirm specific coverage details, available bed types, and current availability. When considered alongside national data, Franklin Meadows presents a mixed profile. Its overall 4-star rating and high quality measure score of 5 stars suggest clinical outcomes that exceed what is typical across the country. The health inspection rating of 4 stars similarly places the facility above average in that domain. The staffing rating of 1 star, however, indicates a notable gap relative to national norms and is a factor that may be relevant when evaluating the level of day-to-day care residents receive. As a government county-operated facility, Franklin Meadows is subject to public accountability standards that differ from those governing for-profit or non-profit facilities. All CMS data is updated periodically, and those seeking the most current information should consult the CMS Care Compare database or contact the facility directly.
