Chase Center in Logansport, Indiana, has a Trust Grade of C, meaning it is average and sits in the middle of the pack among nursing homes. It ranks #226 out of 505 facilities statewide, indicating it is in the top half, but it is the lowest-ranked home in Cass County at #4 of 4. The facility's trend is stable, with 3 issues reported in both 2023 and 2024, remaining consistent. Staffing is a concern, rated at 1 out of 5 stars, but the turnover rate is impressively low at 0%, indicating stability among the staff.

About This Facility
What is Chase Center's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns CHASE CENTER an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which is considered average nationally. Within Indiana, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. This mid-range rating indicates the facility meets federal standards but may have areas for improvement.
How is Chase Center Staffed?
CMS rates CHASE CENTER's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes.
What Have Inspectors Found at Chase Center?
State health inspectors documented 11 deficiencies at CHASE CENTER during 2022 to 2024. These included: 1 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death) and 10 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Chase Center?
CHASE CENTER is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 101 certified beds and approximately 75 residents (about 74% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in LOGANSPORT, Indiana.
How Does Chase Center Compare to Other Indiana Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Indiana, CHASE CENTER's overall rating (3 stars) is below the state average of 3.1 and health inspection rating (4 stars) is above the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Chase Center?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "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 Immediate Jeopardy citations and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Chase Center Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, CHASE CENTER has documented safety concerns. Inspectors have issued 1 Immediate Jeopardy citation (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 3-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Indiana. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Chase Center Stick Around?
CHASE CENTER has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.
Was Chase Center Ever Fined?
CHASE CENTER 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 Chase Center on Any Federal Watch List?
CHASE 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.
