Premier Healthcare of New Harmony

Premier Healthcare of New Harmony sits in the historic town of New Harmony, Indiana, surrounded by farmland and countryside, and this facility's been around since opening its doors back in 1988, taking in folks aged 55 and over who are looking for a place that covers many levels of care, so you'll find everything from independent living and assisted living to full nursing home care, respite care, and memory support for those who need it. The place's got 96 certified beds and sees around 50 residents on an average day, with both long-term and short-term rehab options, hospice, and even home care support for when somebody needs it in a pinch or during recovery. They offer a range of therapies, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, through their in-house therapy department that takes care of both folks living there and others in the area as outpatients, and the care team's focused on patient-centered care whether someone's there for rehab after a hospital stay or staying long haul. Now, with tailored care choices that can be dialed in to fit what each resident needs, the place can help with both basic and complex health issues, though it's worth noting they've had inspection deficiencies, including care planning, pharmacy handling, nutrition, and some infection control areas, totaling 55 documented in reports, which means families should always check those records for peace of mind. The nurse turnover rate's pretty high, at about 71.9%, and the average nursing hours per resident per day is 3.37, with Daviess County Hospital owning the place entirely and affiliating with Premier Healthcare of Illinois. What's handy is they welcome tours for residents and families to get a clear look at the building, the grounds, and what's on offer, from memory care to comfy rehab rooms, and they keep emergency plans in place so folks can ask to review those if they're interested. The amenities are focused on patient comfort, and all care types aim to be matched based on what a person actually needs, not just a set menu-so while it covers a lot of ground, it's smart to look at the inspection history, staffing levels, and talk with staff during a tour to see if this place fits what you're after in a continuing care community in a quiet rural setting.
