Dyer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits at 601 Sheffield Ave in Dyer, Indiana and has been under the managerial control of Dls Financial Consulting, LLC since January 2013, with Casa Consulting as its affiliate. The center has 161 certified beds, but it serves close to 127 residents each day, though it isn't taking new patients at this time. Staff there provide skilled nursing care around the clock alongside a memory loss program, respite care, hospice services, and rehabilitation, so you've got care for all stages including Alzheimer's or dementia in a secured unit, and the staff also offers kosher cuisine for those who need it. Care at Dyer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center happens in English, with nurse coverage at about 3.77 hours per resident per day, and the nurse turnover rate stands at 58.4%, which means nurses come and go quite a bit more than average.
The facility covers nursing care, assisted living, memory support, and rehabilitation under a single roof, so it tries to cater to many needs, with specialized support if you need to regain strength or handle memory issues, and the long-term care program lets folks have independence while getting the help they need. All the care plans aim to help people reach their own goals, whatever stage they're in. A team handles memory support throughout all stages and experts try to make care feel like home, even when things get busy or short-staffed, and although many staff do their best to help, management sometimes bypasses the Director of Nursing, which means some decisions happen without input from all sides. Talisa, the scheduler, has received criticism for not being respectful or always professional in her role, and many say the staff does what they can even though they're stretched pretty thin on most days.
The center does try to keep things home-like, with plenty of light, activity, and a welcoming mood, but there have been problems in the past, with 79 total deficiencies showing up in state inspection reports, and 4 linked directly to infection control. Some of these citations involve not following care plans, not giving enough help with day-to-day tasks, or not keeping up with proper infection prevention programs, just so folks know. It may not be perfect, but the facility still brings together skilled nursing, memory support, rehabilitation, and a touch of homeliness, serving a range of seniors in one location.
