These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 61% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 12 findings, above the IN average of 7.6. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Alpha Home receives highly polarized feedback, with many recent reviews praising the facility's cleanliness and staff friendliness, while others report severe concerns regarding neglect and poor communication. Families should be aware of recurring complaints about slow response times to call lights, medication management errors, and difficulties in reaching administrative staff for tours or inquiries.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy dept rocks . They got him back to baseline in matter of weeks! Clean rooms, activities provided. Overall great place!”
“Unfortunately the management and employee turnover has tremendously impacted the quality of care here and leaves much to be seen and hoped for in restoring this place’s reputation”
“She pushed call light and no one came for over an hour. The LPN that came in the room when I got there stated that she just got there at 3 and it was 5!”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
