PARKER HEALTH CARE & REHABILITATION CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
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.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
