Brickyard Healthcare - Terrace Care Center runs 176 certified beds in La Porte under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is 38.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. What stands out is the inspection record: 43 deficiencies, one abuse-related, none flagged at the harm level.
The 43-deficiency count is a lot to carry on a current record, and a 2/5 on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing across the board tells you where the weak spots sit.
Waters of Clifty Falls sits in Madison, and the numbers here are worth walking through slowly. Nurse staffing runs 2.88 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 6% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 57 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Staff turnover, at 44.1%, is actually slightly under the national rate of 45.8%. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 138 certified beds, and its health inspection and staffing ratings both sit at the lowest tier on CMS's scale, with quality measures only slightly higher.
The Waters of Huntingburg runs on thin nursing coverage, about 2.91 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends are leaner still than weekdays. More than two-thirds of the nursing staff turned over in a year, against a national rate near 46%, which means the people at the bedside keep changing. Its inspection record carries 50 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm, from a visit in September 2025. The five-star quality measure score reflects how residents' conditions are tracked, but that sits alongside a one-star inspection history and a one-star staffing rating.
Majestic Care of Lafayette runs 122 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go. At 3.20 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 12% thinner than weekdays, and turnover at 57.5% against a national 45.8%, that's a lot of new faces learning your family member's needs. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, one tied to abuse and none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent survey in August 2025. Quality measures score well; actual direct-care hours don't. Ask about weekend coverage and how they keep consistent caregivers.
Brickyard Healthcare's Bloomington center runs 3.03 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below what the building already staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage comes with a 49.5% annual turnover rate, meaning nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one fine of $9,249 and a survey completed in April 2025. The quality measure score looks better than the staffing score, but quality measures describe resident outcomes on paper; staffing is what determines whether anyone answers the call light at 2 a.m.
Envive of Liberty runs 60 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a little under the national average of 3.86. The bigger issue is turnover: 63.9% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than the raw hours because it means unfamiliar faces are often the ones providing care. The current inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 1 tied to abuse. The last inspection was September 2025, so the record is recent. Weekend staffing actually runs slightly above the home's own weekday level, which is unusual and worth noting.
River Bend runs on thinner staffing than most homes, about 3.55 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends dip even lower. That matters when you consider turnover: 61.3% of staff left over the past year, against a national rate near 46%, so the people caring for residents are constantly changing. The inspection record is harder to look past: 53 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Its last inspection was January 2026. For-profit corporate ownership isn't unusual here, but combined with a 1-star health inspection rating, it's worth asking direct questions before you decide.
Majestic Care of Newburgh runs on thin staffing: 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 61.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses your family member sees are cycling out faster than average. The inspection record backs that up, 42 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent survey in July 2025. Quality measures look strong at 4 out of 5 stars, but those often reflect charted care rather than daily presence. The corporate for-profit owner, low staffing score, and heavy deficiency count are the parts worth asking about on a visit.
Majestic Care Of Bedford runs 142 beds under corporate ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 3.26 per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so families should ask who's actually on the floor Saturday and Sunday. The inspection history shows 22 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last survey was in May 2026. Turnover sits at 37.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections don't.
Brickyard Healthcare's Richmond location runs on a for-profit corporate model with 87 beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits right at the national average, but weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday coverage, meaning care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 54.1% outpaces the national 45.8%, so the people showing up may not know your relative yet.
The bigger concern is the inspection record: 59 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $24,764. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating reflects that pattern. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the record is current, not stale.
Wildwood Healthcare Center runs 160 beds on Indianapolis's east side, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday level, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record backs that up: 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Turnover at 43.2% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measures look decent, but a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating tells you where the pressure lands. Ask who's on the floor on a Sunday.
Westpark A Waters Community runs on thin staffing. At 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 9% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage families count on shrinks right when many visit. Turnover tells a bigger story: 76.1% of staff leave each year against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are constantly new. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last in on June 10, 2025, and the health inspection rating came back 2 out of 5. Limited liability ownership, for-profit. The quality measure score of 4 out of 5 is the bright spot, but it rests on a staffing picture that isn't holding steady.
The Waters of Indianapolis runs 81 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, roughly 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover is 46.6%, close to the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here; raw hours are. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, six of them abuse-related, with zero flagged at harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors were last in on June 26, 2025. CMS gives 2 of 5 stars for both health inspections and staffing, 3 of 5 for quality measures.
Albany Health Care & Rehabilitation Center runs 102 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national line, 3.81 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average. Weekends are where that thins out, dropping roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is the brighter spot at 33.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than most places. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 24 deficiencies on file, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. The last inspection was recent, February 2026. Quality and staffing measures both rate 4 out of 5, but that inspection record is the part worth asking about directly.
Casa Of Hobart runs 138 certified beds under corporate ownership in Lake County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. At 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 23 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the coverage you might observe on a Tuesday isn't what your relative gets on a Sunday.
The inspection record backs that up: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 82 deficiencies on file including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $14,433. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspections don't.
Ask about weekend coverage and the plan of correction before you tour.
Majestic Care of Connersville runs 113 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the real story here. At 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, it trails the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 19% below its own weekday level, that's when coverage thins out most. The inspection record backs up the concern: 34 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The last inspection was August 2025, so the findings are recent. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results tell the more important part of this home's story.
Cloverleaf of Knightsville runs 102 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its federal staffing numbers sit roughly 20% under the national average, 3.09 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekends another 10% lighter than weekdays. Annual turnover of 53.7% tops the 45.8% national figure, which matters more when fewer people are already on the floor. The inspection record is the stronger side: zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a February 2026 survey that's still recent, though 21 total deficiencies add up. Quality and staffing measures both land at two stars, so ask about weekday versus weekend coverage before deciding.
Waters of Dunkirk runs 46 beds under corporate ownership, and its last inspection in March 2025 turned up 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. That inspection history is why its health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. Staffing tells a mixed story: 3.37 nurse hours per resident day is about 13% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% lighter than weekdays. The 25.8% turnover rate is well below the 45.8% national figure, so aides tend to stay. Quality measures score 5 out of 5. Ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse deficiencies were resolved before deciding.
Miller's Merry Manor in Walkerton runs 107 certified beds under corporate, for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the middle of the pack, 3.89 nurse hours per resident day, barely a percentage point above the national average of 3.86. That number looks fine until you notice weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit and residents need help. Turnover runs 41.8%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so there's some stability in the workforce. The real concern is the inspection record: 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. The last inspection was December 2025, so the findings are recent.
Aperion Care Marion runs a mixed picture. The 70-bed for-profit home on Grant County's west side logs 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the 3.86 national average, though weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday staffing and annual turnover hits 56.7% against a 45.8% national norm, meaning the people around your relative keep changing. The bigger concerns are on record: 52 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, five tied to abuse, with a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. That last inspection was April 2026, so the findings are recent rather than historical. Quality measures score well; the inspection record and turnover do not. Ask specifically how abuse-related issues were resolved.
