About Community Nursing and Rehabilitation
Community Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is located in Indianapolis, Indiana, and offers a continuum of care that includes short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, respite care, and hospice care. The community describes itself as being made up of caring people who work to become an extension of residents' families, helping them and their loved ones find answers, solutions, and peace of mind.
Short-term rehabilitation is designed for individuals recovering from strokes, cardiovascular difficulties, orthopedic surgery, and other debilitating conditions, with the goal of helping them return home safely. The person-centered program includes physical, occupational, and speech/language therapies supported by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers. Through the Road to Recovery program, the care team, patient, and family meet within the first 72 hours of admission to map out discharge goals. Additional rehabilitation services include wound care, fall prevention, contracture management, wheelchair positioning, mobility training, and strength-building and aerobic conditioning programs.
Long-term care is available for residents who can no longer manage daily tasks independently due to illness, injury, or frailty. This care is provided under the guidance of an attending physician by licensed nurses, trained health care aides, and an interdisciplinary care team, and includes social services, activities, and therapy services aimed at helping residents maintain the highest level of independence possible. The community describes its settings as home-like, cheerful, soothing, and secure. Payment options include private pay and Medicaid for qualified applicants, with Medicaid specialists available to assist with the application process.
Respite care is offered for those needing short-term care for elderly friends or family, giving home caregivers the ability to travel, start a new job, recover from illness, or pursue other interests. The community assesses the needs of respite guests to provide an appropriate level of care during their stay.
Hospice and palliative care services focus on comfort, pain relief, and quality of life for residents facing terminal illness. The community partners with local hospice companies to provide skilled nursing care, respite care, spiritual and bereavement counseling, medical equipment and supplies, social services, and pharmacy services through an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, aides, volunteers, social workers, and clergy.

I've never stayed at such a run down nursing home. The nurse Brittany was so so rude and they did nothing about it. It smells like urine so bad because there housekeeping is terrible. I'll never stay at a ASC community ever again in my lifetime. I'd rather be homeless. This place doesn't even deserve a rating. I don't know how the state has not shut them down. Thank you for listening. Have a nice day.

So I see all these reviews on here about how good this place is well let me tell you some truth<br>They are not as family friendly as they say<br>So they leave there patients in bed in there own feces all day and even if the patient or patients family call for them they either don’t come or say they will and never show and if you say something they say oh we forgot and they don’t clean the patient and they whole place smells so bad most of the time like urine and they never clean the rooms so the room is always nasty<br>And you will find medication all over behind the bed and under it and sometimes in the middle of the floor because there not watching the patients take there meds so they just throw them on floor or drop them and they don’t pick<br>It up because they didn’t see it happening because they weren’t watching like they where supposed to and they don’t keep track of the meds in the computer they just give them what was on the hospital list when they got there atleast that’s what they told me when they where giving my dad the same medication in 2 different milligrams 3 times a day and he was hallucinating and had him down as a diabetic and mad him take shots for something he didn’t have wrong with him and if that ain’t bad the way they talk to there patients and treat them is awful and it a bunch of young kids usually running the place I mean the nurses .<br>And on top of all that you will get your money and cloths and belongings stolen by who I don’t know I never could tell but if your wondering I had him moved somewhere else<br>But I do not recommend puttIng anyone in here<br>Oh and they just hand the codes to the door out to anyone so someone could walk in and out with you family members and no one would know so again no I don’t recommend this place at all it’s nasty and wrong
