    Good rehab, inconsistent long-term care

    I had a mixed experience. Many nurses, therapists, social work and housekeeping staff were friendly, skilled and kept the place clean - rehab and admissions were excellent and pandemic visitation options gave me peace of mind - but staffing and consistency are big problems: slow call responses, inattentive or rude aides, poor communication, delayed meds/wound care and maintenance issues that in some cases led to hospitalization or health decline. I would consider it for short-term rehab when the right team is on duty, but I would not trust it for long-term care until staffing and management improve.

    About Washington Healthcare Center

    Washington Healthcare Center sits in Indianapolis, Indiana and is run by American Senior Communities LLC, with ownership by The Health And Hospital Corporation Of Marion County, and it's been managed under this structure since April 2009, operating as a for-profit place with a certified capacity of 94 beds, where staff speak both English and Spanish, and the center is open around the clock for residents' needs. You'll find both independent living and assisted living services here, along with nursing home care that covers skilled nursing, memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, respite care, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term care, so if someone can't manage daily tasks due to illness or frailty, support is available, and hospice services are in place for those who need comfort in their final days.

    Residents share rooms with others, giving the place a community feel, though the space might come across as large or even a bit overwhelming for some, and when it comes to activities and social life, they hold events like Christmas parties with piano music and have a program designed for daily living, but state reports have flagged that not all activities or group participation needs are fully met for every individual. The environment stays clean and adequate, with a focus on providing good food and maintaining amenities that promote well-being, and there's a group of professional staff-nurses, doctors, therapists, and social workers-working in social services, physical therapy, and specialized care like wound management or mobility training, and they take a "Road to Recovery" approach for those in rehab, stressing personalized goals.

    Memory care programming features security and daily stimulation for those with memory loss, aiming to help residents hold on to independence, though some inspection reports have shown deficiencies when it comes to keeping the site free from accident hazards, providing enough supervision, and handling infection control right, and the total number of recorded state deficiencies sits at 23, including records about not always honoring residents' rights to organize and join groups. The community has a nurse turnover rate of 77%, and the reported daily nurse staffing gives just over three hours per resident, which is something to keep in mind for families comparing facilities.

    Families often look for peace of mind, and while Washington Healthcare Center offers a warm, home-like feeling where families and staff tend to grow close, it isn't free from concern-state inspectors have pointed out areas for improvement, especially around activities, safety, and rights, so people should think carefully about what's most important to their situation. The staff works to keep care personal and compassionate, with a focus on recovery, quality of life, and a sense of belonging, and whether someone needs a short stay after surgery, ongoing memory care, or just help getting through the day, they do try to provide support through a broad range of services. The place is close to medical providers, and although nobody's left a review yet, it remains an option for senior healthcare in the greater Indianapolis area, offering services for a variety of different needs.
