Owen Valley Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits in Owen County, Indiana, and it's Indiana-owned and operated with a focus on real hometown care, where they want everyone-guests, residents, families, and staff-to feel welcome and respected. The center offers different types of care, such as skilled nursing, long-term care, and short-term rehabilitation, and also has programs for people with memory loss, including a secure memory care unit with safety alerts and specially trained staff. Residents can find services for stroke recovery, orthopedic care, cardiac rehabilitation, and respite care, with extra help through discharge concierge services, so transitions are a little smoother.
The facility takes a resident-centered approach and tries to look after every part of health, from medical needs and physical therapy to nutrition and mental well-being, but there have been reports where assessments weren't always complete or on time, and care plans were sometimes delayed. The center has 113 certified beds and offers care through a team that includes certified nursing assistants like Natalie Young and Amanda Tegnell, all under the leadership of health facility administrator Edward K. Hughes, who's been there since 2017. While staff like to keep a friendly and clean environment, nurse turnover is higher than average at 58.2% and the staffing hours per resident are a bit below the state standard at 3.15 hours daily.
Owen Valley has support for folks with dementia in secure spaces and tailors rehabilitation and therapy using modern technology, plus meals and amenities aimed at making people comfortable during their stay. Though some inspections pointed out the need for better paperwork and resident assessments, the center stays dedicated to safety, cleanliness, and treating people with dignity. It's managed by Owen Valley Rehabilitation And Healthcare Center, LLC, with direct ownership from Putnam County Hospital and an affiliation with Trilogy Health Services, and the team encourages folks to schedule tours, either in person or online video, to see the campus and get a feel for the place before deciding, offering specialty programs and long-term support in a setting that tries to be both professional and caring without pretending everything's always perfect.
