WELLBROOKE OF WESTFIELD
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Wellbrooke of Westfield has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating that it is slightly above average, but not outstanding. It ranks #205 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and is #8 out of 17 in Hamilton County, meaning there are only a few better local options. The facility is showing improvement, reducing issues from 9 in 2024 to 6 in 2025. Staffing is a concern with a 2/5 rating, reflecting below-average staffing levels, although the turnover rate of 39% is better than the state average of 47%. Additionally, they have incurred fines totaling $9,750, which is higher than 85% of facilities in Indiana, suggesting potential compliance problems. Recent inspections revealed some troubling incidents, such as staff failing to wear masks properly in the kitchen, which could affect food safety for all residents. There was also a serious issue involving a nurse who removed discontinued medications without proper authorization, which poses risks to residents' health and safety. While the facility has strengths, including good quality measures, families should weigh these concerns carefully when considering care options.
