CMS gives Harbor Health & Rehab an overall rating of 1 of 5 stars. The last standard survey was on 17 Dec 2025. The latest survey cycle has 19 health citations. The median for nursing homes in Indiana is 6. CMS lists 1 fine of $13,637 for this home in its penalties file.
Facilities may see a change in their overall rating for a number of reasons. Since the overall rating is based on three individual domains, a change in any one of the domains can affect the overall rating. Any new data for a nursing home could potentially change a star rating domain.
