Sellersburg Healthcare Center

Its website lists more medically complex care than most nearby homes: ventilator rehabilitation, in-house dialysis, wound care with dedicated physicians, and pulmonary management, plus short-term rehabilitation with physical, occupational, and speech therapy. For longer stays it lists long-term nursing care, hospice and palliative support, and respite stays. It does not list a dementia-specific care line. Always confirm any specific service with the admissions team before deciding.

It is certified for 110 beds and houses about 97 residents on a typical day, so it is a mid-sized home that usually runs fairly full. That can mean a settled community, but it is smart to ask about bed availability early if you are planning an admission.

It is run as a for-profit corporation and is part of the CommuniCare family of companies, a family-owned operator with 121 facilities across six states. CommuniCare runs several other southern Indiana centers close by, in New Albany, Clarksville, and Corydon.

Government inspectors give it 3 out of 5 stars overall: 2 stars for health inspections, 2 stars for staffing, and 5 stars for quality-of-care measures. The record shows 6 deficiencies in the recent cycle, one federal fine of about 105,000 dollars, and 3 administrators who left during the reporting period. Ask what was cited, how it was corrected, and how nursing shifts are covered. These ratings come from official inspections and reporting, not family reviews.

The center's admissions page says it takes admissions 24 hours a day, is certified for the main federal and state health coverage programs, holds contracts with most managed care and commercial insurance plans, and offers private-pay options. Bring copies of all insurance cards at admission, and confirm your specific coverage with the admissions coordinator first.

The center's website describes weekly bingo, monthly visits from a therapy dog, occasional spa days, and yearly events such as Halloween trick-or-treating and a Thanksgiving dinner. On a tour, ask for the current month's activity calendar to see what actually happens week to week.

Call the center at (812) 246-4272 or use the inquiry form on its website. The site does not post visiting hours, so ask when you call. The admissions team says it can meet families at the hospital or at home before admission to answer questions.
