No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 70% 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.
Evergreen Crossing and the Lofts presents a highly polarized experience for families, with some praising the modern facility and dedicated rehab staff, while others report severe neglect and communication failures. Recurring complaints involve long wait times for call lights, poor hygiene, and medication errors, which contrast sharply with reports of a clean environment and responsive management. Families should exercise extreme caution and conduct thorough, unannounced visits before choosing this facility.

Key Review Excerpts
“She would call me from there in tears saying that anytime she rang the nurses to potty, it always took at least 45 minutes for someone to check on her.”
“Evergreens nursing staff and therapy team were getting him up regularly! Evergreens staff also healed all of his wounds and he was able to come home!”
“I’ve seen management in the building late most evenings during the week & weekends, helping staff & residents. Call lights were answered promptly & therapy department was great with my mom.”
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.
