Indian Rock Village Health Center is a small, for-profit facility that provides both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care services. The center is not part of a continuing care retirement community but does participate in both Medicare and Medicaid programs, making it accessible to a wider range of residents who require financial assistance. With a capacity of 55 beds, it offers a more intimate care environment compared to larger facilities, aiming to provide individualized attention to each resident.
The center’s short-term rehabilitation services support residents who are recovering from hospital stays due to events such as strokes, heart attacks, infections, or accidental injuries. These services are structured to help patients regain their independence and return home whenever possible. Approximately 44.8% of residents have been able to return home after being discharged from Indian Rock Village Health Center, reflecting a focus on recovery and rehabilitation outcomes. Short-term rehab is generally covered by Original Medicare for up to 100 days after qualifying hospital stays, following the meeting of required deductibles.
For those needing extended assistance, Indian Rock Village Health Center also offers long-term care services. Residents benefit from an average of 4 hours and 19 minutes of nurse staffing per day, which supports both medical needs such as medication management and non-medical needs like dressing, eating, and using the bathroom. The majority of residents—over 92%—maintain the ability to perform key self-care activities, and all residents in the facility are reported to receive annual influenza vaccinations, demonstrating a commitment to preventive health.
The health center’s focus on safety and quality of care is reflected in its staffing and incident data. Fall prevention appears to be effective, as there were no reported major injuries due to falls among residents. Emergency room visits are relatively low, with 2.1 visits per 1,000 patient days for long-term residents. However, the facility has faced challenges with consistent staffing levels on weekends compared to weekdays, which is an important factor in continuous care.
Regular state health and fire safety inspections are conducted to ensure standards are met, with any noted issues addressed promptly. Over the past three years, Indian Rock Village Health Center has paid fines related to compliance matters, totaling under $4,000. Despite these challenges, the center continues to provide a secure and caring environment for its residents, with an emphasis on personal attention and ongoing improvement in care practices.
