The Barrington of Carmel is located in Carmel, Indiana, a city with a total of 77,123 people. Featuring an overall grade of B+, this facility should work for most prospective patients. If you take a look at the other options in Carmel, we suspect you will find this facility to be a better option than most of the nursing homes in the city. Lastly, this nursing home's ownership changed in the last year, so we will need to monitor it to confirm it maintains its high level of care.
Please note our records indicate that The Barrington of Carmel has changed ownership recently and while our data on this page is up-to-date there is a chance that the quality of this facility may change under new management.

Facility Inspections
A
Historical
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few facilities fared better in that category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
A
Historical
This nursing home really excelled in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Few facilities performed better in this category. In determining these short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average facility. This is usually a great sign. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the country with 53.3 percent of its residents returning home. This is a better rate than most nursing homes.

Nurse Quality
A-
Historical
Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. The nursing rating consists of a handful of subcategories, but the main one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility boasts a really impressive 6.1 hours of nursing care per patient per day, of which a significant percentage was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as good measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
D
Historical
The last area we analyzed is nursing, proved to be this nursing home's worst area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that area. This is one of just a couple of dings in a strong profile. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. On top of offering respectable levels of nursing care, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 95.37037 percent of its residents. These marks are notably more impressive than several of its other marks in the category. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.61 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
