HEALTHWIN HEALTH & REHABILITATION
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. They rank #456 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, putting them in the bottom half, and #18 out of 18 in St. Joseph County, meaning there are no local options that perform better. The facility's trend is worsening, with the number of issues rising from 8 in 2024 to 15 in 2025. Staffing is average, with a rating of 3 out of 5, but a turnover rate of 64% is concerning, significantly higher than the state average. While they have good RN coverage, exceeding 79% of Indiana facilities, there have been serious incidents, including a resident's death due to a failure to provide timely medical intervention and a resident exiting the facility unattended, indicating critical safety lapses. Overall, while there are some strengths in staffing levels, the serious deficiencies and poor trust grade raise significant red flags for potential residents and their families.

About This Facility
What is Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns HEALTHWIN HEALTH & REHABILITATION an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much below average nationally. Within Indiana, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation Staffed?
CMS rates HEALTHWIN HEALTH & REHABILITATION's staffing level at 3 out of 5 stars, which is average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 64%, which is 18 percentage points above the Indiana average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 60%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.
What Have Inspectors Found at Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation?
State health inspectors documented 39 deficiencies at HEALTHWIN HEALTH & REHABILITATION during 2022 to 2025. These included: 2 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 1 that caused actual resident harm, and 36 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 Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation?
HEALTHWIN HEALTH & REHABILITATION 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 145 certified beds and approximately 90 residents (about 62% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in SOUTH BEND, Indiana.
How Does Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation Compare to Other Indiana Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Indiana, HEALTHWIN HEALTH & REHABILITATION's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 3.1, staff turnover (64%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation?
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?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations and the facility's high staff turnover rate.
Is Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, HEALTHWIN HEALTH & REHABILITATION has documented safety concerns. Inspectors have issued 2 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 1-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 Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation Stick Around?
Staff turnover at HEALTHWIN HEALTH & REHABILITATION is high. At 64%, the facility is 18 percentage points above the Indiana average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 60%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation Ever Fined?
HEALTHWIN HEALTH & REHABILITATION has been fined $29,744 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Indiana average of $33,376. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Healthwin Health & Rehabilitation on Any Federal Watch List?
HEALTHWIN HEALTH & REHABILITATION 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.
