What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • Nursing staff turnover of 68%

    High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.

Our read on Brickyard Healthcare - Twelfth Street Care Center

Brickyard Healthcare's Twelfth Street location runs on thin staffing. At 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels, the shifts where families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 67.6% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents change often. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which matters. Its most recent inspection was September 2025, so the picture is fairly current. Quality measures score well, but that's a narrow slice. The daily staffing reality and the churn are the parts worth weighing.
