Overview

Compass Park in Franklin, Indiana, has a Trust Grade of B+, which means it is recommended and above average in quality. It ranks #134 out of 505 facilities in the state, placing it in the top half, but is #7 of 10 in Johnson County, indicating there are better local options. The facility's performance is worsening, with an increase in issues from 3 in 2023 to 4 in 2024. Staffing is a strength, earning 4 out of 5 stars with a turnover rate of 40%, which is below the Indiana average of 47%. There have been no fines recorded, which is a positive sign. However, inspector findings revealed that food sanitation practices are lacking, as staff were observed with unkempt hair while preparing meals, leading to potential hygiene risks. Additionally, the facility failed to provide written notifications for transfers and bed holds for several residents, which could affect family communication and care continuity. Overall, while Compass Park has some strengths, families should be aware of these concerns when considering care for their loved ones.

A review of the inventory sheet, signed by Resident 246's family member on 11/10/22, included clothing, wheelchair, glasses, toiletries, and electronics. The inventory sheet did not include the left elbow brace or edema glove. During an interview on 11/18/22 at 2:10 p.m., Resident 246 indicated he has not worn the left elbow brace or edema glove since his admission into this facility nor were the items in the facility. During an interview on 11/18/22 at 2:20 p.m., CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) 2 indicated she had taken care of Resident 246 most of the time since his admission and she had never seen the elbow brace or edema glove in his room nor on his person. During an interview on 11/18/22 at 4:11 p.m., DNS indicated Resident 246 was admitted with a physician's order to wear a left elbow brace and edema glove on a daily basis. Resident 246's left elbow brace and edema glove were not sent from the previous facility and so they were not available. The DNS was unsure why the TAR documents indicated the brace and edema glove were signed off indicating they were applied and subsequently removed. The items were not in the building and could not have been applied to the resident. During an interview on 11/21/22 at 10:20 a.m., LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 4 indicated at admission, Resident 246 had an order for the left elbow brace and edema glove to be worn for 8 hours daily. Resident 246 was not able to wear either item as they were not available in the facility. During an interview on 11/21/22 at 10:25 a.m., the DNS indicated the facility did not have a specific nursing documentation policy. The DNS indicated a guiding principle of good nursing documentation was to be accurate.

Who Owns and Operates Compass Park?

The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 167 certified beds and approximately 139 residents (about 83% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in FRANKLIN, Indiana.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Compass Park?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"

Is Compass Park Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, COMPASS PARK has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Indiana. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.

Do Nurses at Compass Park Stick Around?

COMPASS PARK has a staff turnover rate of 40%, which is about average for Indiana nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.

Was Compass Park Ever Fined?

COMPASS PARK has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Compass Park on Any Federal Watch List?

COMPASS PARK is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
