Overview

Parker Health Care & Rehabilitation Center has a Trust Grade of B+, which indicates it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #83 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and is the best option in Randolph County. The facility is improving, having reduced its issues from four in 2022 to just one in 2024. Staffing is rated average, with a 3/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 56%, which is close to the state average. Notably, there have been no fines recorded, which is a positive sign. However, there are some concerns to consider. Recent inspections revealed that residents were not given the opportunity to elect their own Resident Council President, which could impact their involvement in decision-making. Additionally, there was a failure to clarify a resident's end-of-life wishes, which is critical for ensuring their preferences are respected. Finally, a required assessment was not completed in a timely manner for another resident, indicating potential oversight in care processes. Overall, while the facility has strengths, families should weigh these concerns when making their decision.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the resident group the opportunity to select a resident representative to serve as the Resident Council President for 10 of 10 residents interviewed in a group setting. Findings include: During a resident group interview on July 31, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. the following concerns regarding Resident Council were indicated: The facility had informed the members of Resident Council they would no longer have a resident council president. The residents did not initiate this practice. The Activity Director informed the council that this was how it was going to be going forward. The residents indicated the Activity Director had told them that other facilities did not have a president of Resident Council, so they would not either. This had occurred approximately three months ago. Ten of ten residents present during the interview indicated they were never given the right to vote on this decision. Ten of ten residents present during the interview indicated they would like a resident representative to serve as the Resident Council President. The group had previously chosen the Resident Council President by election and there had not been a term limit for the position. The group felt they did not have voice within the facility. Review of monthly Resident Council Minutes from January 2024 through July 2024 indicated the following: March 2024 listed the name of a Resident Council President. The monthly minutes lacked the name of a Resident Council President in April, May, June, and July 2024. The monthly minutes for 2024 lacked mention of a group decision to no longer having a resident council president. During an interview on 8/1/24 at 11:33 a.m., the Activity Director indicated the resident council had slowly dwindled down to 3 or 4 members. The members were discouraged about the low participation. The Activity Director talked to her consultant about her concerns and her consultant said many facilities did not have a resident council president, so she then informed the resident council they would not have a resident council president. This idea was not offered to the resident council for consideration. The resident council did not vote on the matter. She implemented this practice following the recommendations of the consultant. A 10/1/2016, document titled Resident Council By-Laws, provided by the Activity Director on 8/1/24 at 1:55 p.m., indicated the following: .Officers: The President shall preside at all meetings of the Resident Council 3.1-3(k)
