#42 of 505 in IN
Last Inspection: September 2024

Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.

Overview

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.

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.

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.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
