BRICKYARD HEALTHCARE - PETERSBURG CARE CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Brickyard Healthcare - Petersburg Care Center has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice among nursing homes but not the best. It ranks #125 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 2 in Pike County, meaning only one other local option is better. The facility is improving, with issues decreasing from 8 in 2023 to 4 in 2024. Staffing is a strength here, with a 4 out of 5-star rating and a turnover rate of 43%, which is below the Indiana average. Notably, the facility has not incurred any fines, leading to a strong reputation for compliance. However, there are some concerning incidents. For instance, six resident rooms and one shower room were found to be unclean, with issues like peeling walls and excessively hot water temperatures. Additionally, staff were observed failing to follow proper infection control practices by not washing hands or changing gloves between tasks, risking the spread of infections. While the facility has strengths, these weaknesses highlight the need for improvement in cleanliness and adherence to safety protocols.
