GREENWOOD HEALTH AND LIVING COMMUNITY
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Greenwood Health and Living Community has a Trust Grade of C+, which means it is slightly above average but still has room for improvement. It ranks #245 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, but it is #9 out of 10 in Johnson County, indicating limited local options for better care. The facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with the number of issues increasing from 4 in 2024 to 7 in 2025. Staffing is a significant concern, rated at 1 out of 5 stars, with a staff turnover rate of 61%, much higher than the state average of 47%. While there are no fines on record, which is a positive sign, the facility has faced serious concerns such as missing narcotic medications for multiple residents and a failure to implement care plans for individuals at risk of falls, which raises questions about resident safety and care quality.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Greenwood Health And Living Community?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Greenwood Health And Living Community Safe?

Do Nurses at Greenwood Health And Living Community Stick Around?
Staff turnover at GREENWOOD HEALTH AND LIVING COMMUNITY is high. At 61%, the facility is 15 percentage points above the Indiana average of 46%. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Greenwood Health And Living Community Ever Fined?
GREENWOOD HEALTH AND LIVING COMMUNITY 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 Greenwood Health And Living Community on Any Federal Watch List?
GREENWOOD HEALTH AND LIVING COMMUNITY 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.
