GREENWOOD MEADOWS
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Greenwood Meadows has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #42 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and #3 out of 10 in Johnson County, with only two local options rated higher. However, the facility is facing a concerning trend, worsening from 2 issues in 2023 to 5 in 2024. Staffing has a 3/5 rating, with a turnover rate of 45%, slightly below the state average but still indicates some instability. While there have been no fines, which is a positive aspect, the facility has been cited for failing to notify a provider of critical lab results for a resident with high blood sugar, not monitoring the weight of a resident showing signs of severe weight loss, and providing inappropriate dietary options for a diabetic resident. This mix of strengths and weaknesses should be carefully considered by families.

Who Owns and Operates Greenwood Meadows?

The facility is operated by AMERICAN SENIOR COMMUNITIES, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 169 certified beds and approximately 146 residents (about 86% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in GREENWOOD, Indiana.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Greenwood Meadows?
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 Greenwood Meadows Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, GREENWOOD MEADOWS 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 5-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 Greenwood Meadows Stick Around?
GREENWOOD MEADOWS has a staff turnover rate of 45%, 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 Greenwood Meadows Ever Fined?
GREENWOOD MEADOWS 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 Meadows on Any Federal Watch List?
GREENWOOD MEADOWS 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.
