Villages at Oak Ridge: Respiratory Care Failure - IN
The April 2 inspection, conducted in response to complaint IN00456575, produced a citation under F695, the federal tag that covers the provision of respiratory care services. Inspectors noted that some residents were affected.
The citation was classified as potential for actual harm, the middle tier of federal severity rankings, meaning inspectors concluded the failures had not yet caused serious injury but carried real risk of doing so.
What specifically went wrong with respiratory care at the facility, and for which residents, is not detailed in the publicly available inspection record. The report identifies the violation, the complaint that prompted the visit, and the scope, and stops there.
Respiratory care failures in nursing homes carry particular weight. Residents who depend on oxygen, nebulizer treatments, suctioning, or ventilator support have little margin for missed or delayed care. A skipped treatment or malfunctioning equipment can move from inconvenience to crisis faster than most other categories of neglect.
The complaint that set this inspection in motion came from somewhere, from a resident, a family member, or a staff member willing to put a concern on record. That complaint produced a citation that confirmed, at least in part, that something had gone wrong.
Villages at Oak Ridge is a long-term care facility in Daviess County in southwestern Indiana. The inspection concluded on April 2, 2025, and the citation was recorded as the final entry in an 18-page inspection report.
Whether the residents affected by the respiratory care failures received corrective intervention, and whether the conditions that produced the complaint have since been addressed, is not reflected in the inspection record.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
