Harbor Health & Rehab
Inspection Results
Harbor Health & Rehab has been cited for a total of 159 deficiencies since we began saving each survey. We believe it is worthwhile to show how things are and were. Some improve and some get worse. Rather than a snapshot, we take s longer view than most. A longer view, we believe, paints a better and more worthwhile picture. We start from them most recent and go back as you scroll down.
Tip: Surveys happen throughout the year and you may want to check with the location or here to see if more recent data is available for Harbor Health & Rehab.
Since we bagan longer term (multi year tracking, numbers will naturally be higher than 3 (or so surverys).
There are 518 nursing homes in Indiana with a total of 29,290 deficiencies resulting in an average of 56.54 deficiencies per nursing home.
The following table describes how deficiencies are scored. An easy way to remember the severity of a deficiency's scope is that the further along in the alphabet (A through L) the scope value is, the more severe the deficiency is.
Additionally, A through F means no actual harm has happened.
