Allison Pointe Healthcare: Dignity Rights Violation - IN

Healthcare Facility
Allison Pointe Healthcare Center
Indianapolis, IN  ·  1/5 stars

The resident, identified in inspection records only as Resident B, had been diagnosed with right breast cancer that had metastasized to her brain. She was cognitively intact at the time of the encounter, according to her most recent assessment from November 2025.

The nurse, identified as LPN 3, learned through staff conversation that a vehicle sitting in the facility parking lot belonged to Resident B. She then went to the resident's room and asked whether the car was available for purchase. In a written statement dated December 9, 2025, the nurse explained her reasoning: she was thinking of buying a car for her daughter in college.

"The resident at the time did not appear upset by my question and I genuinely meant no harm," LPN 3 wrote. "It will never happen again."

Inspectors cited the facility for failing to treat the resident with dignity, one of the foundational protections nursing homes are required to uphold. The citation was tagged at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm.

The facility's own policy, handed to inspectors during the visit, stated that residents have the right to a dignified existence and to retain and use their personal possessions. Whether a staff member asking a terminally ill resident if she wants to sell her car crosses that line was not something the facility disputed in the record inspectors reviewed.

Resident B's response to the question, and whether she reported the encounter herself or through someone else, is not detailed in the inspection record. The complaint that triggered the inspection carries intake number 2688478.

What the record does show is a nurse who learned a dying woman owned a car, walked to her room, and asked if she could buy it.
