CHARLESTOWN PLACE AT NEW ALBANY

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Charlestown Place At New Albany?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "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 facility's high staff turnover rate.
Is Charlestown Place At New Albany Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, CHARLESTOWN PLACE AT NEW ALBANY 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).

Do Nurses at Charlestown Place At New Albany Stick Around?
Staff turnover at CHARLESTOWN PLACE AT NEW ALBANY is high. At 59%, the facility is 13 percentage points above the Indiana average of 46%. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences.

How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Charlestown Place At New Albany Ever Fined?
CHARLESTOWN PLACE AT NEW ALBANY has been fined $31,784 across 2 penalty actions. This is below the Indiana average of $33,397.

Is Charlestown Place At New Albany on Any Federal Watch List?
CHARLESTOWN PLACE AT NEW ALBANY 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.
