VILLAGES AT OAK RIDGE, THE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
The Villages at Oak Ridge in Washington, Indiana, has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating that it is slightly above average but not exceptional. Ranking #300 out of 505 facilities in Indiana places it in the bottom half, while its county rank of #3 out of 5 shows that only two local options are better. The facility is improving, with the number of issues decreasing from 7 in 2024 to 6 in 2025. Staffing is rated average with a turnover rate of 53%, which is similar to the state average, but it has good RN coverage, exceeding that of 85% of Indiana facilities. While there are no fines on record, which is a positive sign, there are several concerning incidents reported. For example, the facility failed to ensure proper care to prevent urinary tract infections for residents who are incontinent or have catheters, affecting all four residents reviewed for this issue. Additionally, there were concerns about insufficient nursing staff, leading to missed medical orders and inadequate care. Infection control practices were also lacking, with laundry not being handled properly, risking contamination. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing stability and RN coverage, families should be aware of the care deficiencies highlighted in the inspection findings.
