Signature HealthCARE of Muncie

Signature HealthCARE of Muncie sits at 4301 N Walnut St, Muncie, Indiana, and holds 140 certified beds, but there's been some trouble with keeping up on things that matter like protecting resident belongings or money, making sure families know they don't have to agree to binding arbitration, and providing enough help at mealtimes for proper nutrition, since staff support there for food and nutrition hasn't always met requirements, with a January 2025 inspection listing 10 deficiencies, including one for infections, and, over time, the place has had 40 deficiencies, which isn't the lowest, and the nursing staff turns over quickly, with more than half leaving in a year, running at 58.3%, higher than the Indiana average, and with nurse hours per resident per day measured at 3.60, which is just below the state's 3.7 hour average, so you might notice the difference in care. The management has been under LP Muncie Management, LLC since January 2022, and Jackson County Schneck Memorial Hospital owns it completely, while the facility's part of a large network that includes Signature HealthCARE and Kindred Healthcare, and, although the current staff includes physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, nutritionists, dietitians, and social workers, there are still some gaps-like they don't have telehealth right now, but they do offer transportation, house cleaning, help with personal care, emergency medical response, Alzheimer's counseling, spiritual support, home therapy assessment, and outpatient therapies for physical, occupational, and speech needs, and there's a long-term skilled care option alongside short-term rehab for folks coming out of the hospital. People going in will find programs meant to make life better, including spirituality offerings open to people from different backgrounds, therapy plans tailored to urban settings, and activities designed to enrich day-to-day living, but it should be pointed out that outside accreditation isn't certain for every care provider associated with the facility, and they do report infection-related problems in three separate deficiencies. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and the facility keeps some services tied to social media, with a Facebook presence and connections to various Meta companies, though there's no unique amenities or branded programs tied specifically to Signature HealthCARE of Muncie beyond standard care. The facility's working on building better networks for care quality in the city, aiming for personalized support, but families and future residents should pay careful attention to the ongoing inspection reports, since some issues come up again and again.
