No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 94% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 10 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 - Twelfth Street Care Center presents a polarized experience for families. Supporters frequently praise the dedicated nursing and therapy staff who provide a warm, family-like atmosphere, while critics report severe lapses in patient care, including hygiene neglect and communication failures. The facility is described as older and physically drab, though some families appreciate the efforts made to keep it clean and active.

Key Review Excerpts
“My husband has been in Brickyard for about a month. Every employee greats me every time I walk down the halls. He is comfortable here which puts my being at rest. Therapy...cannot say enough about these therapists.”
“My Father arrived on a Friday evening (Covid positive) - I was allowed to see him the following Tuesday & he was still in the same clothes he arrived in - based on what we found he had been allowed to sit in his wet clothes longer than I can imagine.”
“Many employees have been there for many years and they are incredibly caring and patient. My mom at 92 is happy, healthy, clean, busy, and loves the food. The facility is older and drab but it is clean and safe.”
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.
