CHALET REHABILITATION AND HEALTHCARE CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Chalet Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center has earned a Trust Grade of B, which indicates it is a good facility and a solid choice for care. It ranks #132 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and #7 out of 46 in Marion County, suggesting only six local options are better. However, the facility's trend is worsening, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 4 in 2025. Staffing is a concern, as it received a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars, and while turnover is slightly below the state average at 46%, there is less RN coverage than 82% of state facilities, which limits oversight. Notably, there were incidents of unsanitary food storage, including unmarked expired items, and issues with cleanliness in residents' rooms, where dirty commodes were reported and liquid spills were left unattended. Overall, while Chalet has strengths in its trust grade and ranking, families should be aware of the staffing challenges and specific cleanliness concerns.

"Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
Is Chalet Rehabilitation And Healthcare Center Safe?

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Chalet Rehabilitation And Healthcare Center on Any Federal Watch List?
CHALET REHABILITATION AND HEALTHCARE CENTER 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.
