Allison Pointe Healthcare Center

Its website lists short-term recovery care with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus care for medically complex conditions, long-term care, hospice and palliative support, and respite stays. Specialty programs listed for this building include in-house dialysis, wound care with dedicated physicians, pulmonary management, substance abuse treatment, care after surgery, cardiac management, and neurorehabilitation.

Yes. The center's services page lists in-house dialysis, which means treatments happen inside the building instead of at an outside clinic. If your family member needs dialysis, ask the center directly about scheduling and how it coordinates with their kidney doctor.

It is certified for 159 beds and has about 106 residents on a typical day. That makes it a larger home, so ask how care teams are organized so residents do not feel lost in the crowd.

It is part of the CommuniCare Health network, a family-owned group of about 121 facilities across six states. In federal records it is listed as a for-profit corporation. Other network centers in the area include Wildwood, Hawthorne, Southpointe, and Evergreen Crossing in Indianapolis, and Bridgewater in Carmel.

Federal regulators give it 1 out of 5 stars overall, the lowest score. Health inspections are rated 1 star, staffing 2 stars, and quality measures 4 stars. Federal records also show one fine of about 56,000 dollars and one payment denial. Star ratings come from official government health inspections and reporting — they are a regulatory measure, not family reviews.

Ask what the last inspection cited, since the inspection rating is 1 star with 18 deficiencies, and what has changed since. Ask about nurse and aide coverage on each shift, because staffing is rated 2 stars and nursing staff turnover is around 55 percent. Always confirm services, availability, and coverage directly with the facility before making a decision.

The operator's admissions page for this center says admissions are handled around the clock, the building is certified for the main federal and state coverage programs, has contracts with most managed-care and commercial insurance plans, and offers private-pay options. Bring copies of insurance cards when you visit. You can reach the center at (317) 842-6668.
