HARCOURT TERRACE NURSING AND REHABILITATION
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Harcourt Terrace Nursing and Rehabilitation has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is decent and slightly above average compared to other facilities. It ranks #144 out of 505 in Indiana, placing it in the top half of nursing homes in the state, and #9 out of 46 in Marion County, meaning only eight local options are better. Unfortunately, the facility's trend is worsening, with reported issues increasing from three in 2024 to six in 2025. Staffing has a rating of 2 out of 5 stars with a turnover rate of 38%, which is better than the state average, suggesting some stability among staff, but there is room for improvement. Notably, there have been serious concerns, such as a resident fracturing their wrist during an altercation due to inadequate dementia care, and failures in monitoring and administering medications for residents with critical health conditions. While there are no fines on record and average RN coverage, the facility's shortcomings in care processes and safety should be carefully considered.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Harcourt Terrace Nursing And Rehabilitation?

"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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
Is Harcourt Terrace Nursing And Rehabilitation Safe?

Do Nurses at Harcourt Terrace Nursing And Rehabilitation Stick Around?
HARCOURT TERRACE NURSING AND REHABILITATION has a staff turnover rate of 38%, which is about average for Indiana nursing homes (state average: 46%).

Was Harcourt Terrace Nursing And Rehabilitation Ever Fined?
HARCOURT TERRACE NURSING AND REHABILITATION 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.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Harcourt Terrace Nursing And Rehabilitation on Any Federal Watch List?
HARCOURT TERRACE NURSING AND REHABILITATION 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.
