This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 43% 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.
Brickyard Healthcare - Fountainview Care Center receives highly polarized feedback, with recent reviews highlighting significant concerns regarding cleanliness, responsiveness, and medical oversight. While some families report a smooth transition and friendly staff, multiple critical reviews describe a facility that is understaffed, unresponsive to phone calls, and failing to meet basic hygiene and medical care standards.
