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.
No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 35% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 18 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.
Aperion Care Tolleston Park receives highly polarized feedback, with many recent reviews praising the admissions team and facility cleanliness, while long-term and critical reviews highlight severe lapses in patient care. Families frequently report concerns regarding communication, responsiveness of nursing staff, and inconsistent medical attention. While some visitors find the environment welcoming and well-managed, others describe a facility struggling with basic care standards and professionalism.

Key Review Excerpts
“If I could leave negative stars, I would. I had a family member here for a few years and just found out today that she had passed TWO MONTHS AGO in their care. Family has been sending her letters and we received a letter back TODAY stating she is deceased.”
“The DON here is amazing and she goes above and beyond for the staff and residents. There are some hard working and caring staff members as well”
“If you want your family member to die, then send them here, no seriously. If I had not visited and brought my mother’s condition to the nurse’s attention and demanded that she be sent out, she would’ve been dead from sepsis within a couple days.”
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.

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.
