140 W Washington St, Morgantown, IN 46160, IN, 46160
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on June 19, 2025, found the facility in compliance with life safety and emergency preparedness requirements and identified no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of life safety and emergency preparedness deficiencies, including failures in testing emergency lighting, fire drills, sprinkler inspections, and emergency exercises, as well as issues with kitchen safety and oxygen storage. Prior reports also cited resident care concerns such as improper use of physical restraints, failure to maintain resident dignity during meals, and inaccuracies in resident assessments, but no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. Multiple complaint investigations were conducted, most of which were unsubstantiated, except for one substantiated complaint in March 2024 involving inadequate supervision that led to elopement and an immediate jeopardy situation that was later resolved. The facility’s recent inspections indicate improvement in life safety and emergency preparedness compliance following earlier citations.
