COMMUNITY NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER

Community Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a government-owned, county-operated skilled nursing facility located at 5600 E 16th St in Indianapolis, Indiana (ZIP: 46218). The facility maintains 115 certified beds and is certified to serve both Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. As a county-run operation, it falls under public rather than private or for-profit ownership. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities across four categories: overall performance, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Community Nursing and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall CMS rating of 2 stars, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection rating stands at 1 star, indicating a lower performance level in this domain relative to national benchmarks. The staffing rating is 2 stars, also below the national average. The quality measure rating, however, is 5 stars, representing the highest possible score in that category and placing the facility above the national average for clinical quality indicators. Quality measures assess clinical outcomes such as rates of hospitalizations, falls, pressure ulcers, and other resident health metrics reported to CMS. Community Nursing and Rehabilitation Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment, making it accessible to residents who rely on federal health insurance programs. Prospective residents or their representatives are advised to contact the facility directly at (317) 356-0911 to inquire about current bed availability, private pay options, and any additional coverage considerations. Payment eligibility and coverage details may vary based on individual circumstances and the level of care required. When considered in the context of national performance data, the facility presents a mixed profile. The 2-star overall rating and 1-star health inspection rating indicate areas that fall below what CMS considers average performance nationally. The 2-star staffing rating similarly reflects a staffing level that does not meet the national midpoint. In contrast, the 5-star quality measure rating is a notable distinction, suggesting that resident health outcomes as measured by CMS-tracked clinical indicators compare favorably to facilities across the country. Marion County residents and families researching care options in the Indianapolis area may find this data useful when evaluating the facility alongside other licensed providers in the region. Full inspection reports and additional facility data are publicly available through the CMS Care Compare database.
