Aperion Care Greenfield runs 2.92 nursing hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time, and weekends dip about 21% below what the building manages on weekdays. Turnover sits at 38.5%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't a revolving door so much as not enough staff on the floor to begin with. The current record shows 31 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in September 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at two out of five.
Poplar Care Strategies runs 62 beds in Loogootee under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are on the inspection side. Thirty-six deficiencies sit on its current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $8,021 attached. Federal inspectors last visited in January 2026, so the record is recent rather than stale.
Staffing tells a similar story from a different angle. At 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday level, meaning the thinnest coverage arrives when families often visit.
No abuse deficiencies appear on the record.
Miller's Merry Manor in Marion runs 176 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner still, dropping about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters because that's when families often visit and when problems tend to surface. Staff turnover is 56.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the current record carries 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was January 6, 2026, so the picture is recent. Nothing here is abuse-related, but the staffing and turnover numbers explain why this home lands where it does.
Premier Healthcare Of New Harmony runs 96 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers worth knowing sit in two places: inspections and staffing. Federal inspectors cited 52 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, findings serious enough to pull the health inspection rating down to 1 out of 5. Staffing tells a similar story, also 1 out of 5, with annual turnover at 55.1% against a national average of 45.8%. The quality measure rating of 3 out of 5 is the strongest piece here, and the last inspection was recent, in December 2025. Ask about direct care hours per resident and what the facility is doing to keep nurses and aides from leaving.
The Waters of Syracuse runs on thin staffing: 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 61.8% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely to change often. The inspection record is the harder problem, 34 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Ownership is for-profit, a limited liability company. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, but that reflects resident assessments, not the staffing and safety problems underneath them.
Saint Anthony runs 189 certified beds in Crown Point under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday levels, and turnover is 46.8%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the real concern: 50 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, though zero rose to harm or jeopardy. Quality measures score better at 3 out of 5, but staffing also rates 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was June 16, 2025, so the record is current. If you're considering this one, ask directly about weekend coverage and how they've addressed those abuse-related findings.
Dyer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 161 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.41 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 11% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage lines up with a one-star staffing rating, and the inspection record backs it up, 76 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus $23,257 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection came in February 2025, so the record is current, not stale. Quality measures score a middling three stars, but that's the outlier here, not the pattern.
Aperion Care Kokomo runs 105 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the clearest trouble spot: 3.34 nurse hours per resident per day sits about 14% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, and 57.7% of staff turn over each year against a 45.8% national rate. That thin, churning workforce is hard to separate from the inspection record, 32 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one $15,593 fine. The last inspection was recent, August 2025. Quality measures score mid-range, but low staffing and a long deficiency history are what a family should weigh here.
Aperion Care Arbors in Michigan City runs 180 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 3.42 nurse hours per resident per day, about 11% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 14% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 49.6%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is heavier still, 69 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. The last inspection was in December 2025, and CMS scored health inspections and staffing at 1 out of 5 stars each. Quality measures came in at 3.
The Waters of Lebanon runs on 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 10 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 65.9 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents change often. Its record shows 31 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level; the last inspection was September 11, 2025. CMS rates staffing 1 out of 5 stars and inspections 2 out of 5, while quality measures score 4 out of 5, a split worth asking about directly. Corporate ownership means decisions about staffing levels get made well above the building.
Signature Healthcare of Muncie is a for-profit home with 140 beds, and its inspection record is the first thing to look at: 59 deficiencies, including 17 tied to abuse and one at the level that caused actual harm or put residents in jeopardy. The last inspection was March 20, 2026, so the record is recent. Nurse staffing sits at 3.80 hours per resident day, slightly below the national average, and it thins out on weekends by roughly 15% compared to weekdays. Staff turnover is 70.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The quality measure rating looks strong on paper, but that's survey data, not the inspection findings.
Aperion Care Monroe runs 38 beds in Bloomington under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9 percent below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46.4 percent, close to the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning nearly half the nursing staff changes over in a year. The current record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was August 2025, and CMS gives it 3 stars for health inspections, 2 for quality measures, and 1 for staffing.
Waters of Wakarusa runs 133 certified beds as a for-profit partnership, and its current inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level, though none abuse-related. Staffing sits at 3.46 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover is 57.1% compared with 45.8% nationally. A single fine of $14,661 appears on the record, and the most recent inspection was March 14, 2025. The one-star health inspection rating tells you where the trouble concentrates: not in the quality measures, which score mid-range, but in how consistently the building meets federal requirements day to day.
Allison Pointe runs 159 certified beds on Indianapolis's east side, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 10 percent below what the home itself staffs during the week, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.1 percent runs well above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are often new to the building.
The inspection history is heavy: 69 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. A $56,381 fine is on file, and the most recent inspection was February 25, 2026, recent enough to reflect how the home operates now.
Lincolnshire runs 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage lines up with the federal staffing rating of 1 out of 5, and the health inspection rating is also 1 out of 5, the current record shows 57 deficiencies, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse. One fine totaling $3,418 has been levied. The last inspection was November 24, 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score better, at 3 out of 5, which suggests the clinical metrics tracked by CMS look steadier than the day-to-day staffing and inspection picture.
Majestic Care of Jefferson Pointe runs 135 certified beds in Fort Wayne under corporate, for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stand out. At 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 57.4% tops the national 45.8% by a wide margin, meaning the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The current record carries 27 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with the last inspection dated March 2026.
Southwood Healthcare Center is a for-profit home in Terre Haute with a staffing problem that shows up in the numbers: 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends run about 11% leaner than weekdays. Annual staff turnover sits at 57%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which helps explain the low staffing rating. The inspection record is heavier to carry, 49 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $40,790 fine. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of serious problems. The quality measure rating looks better, but that's built from resident assessments, not the staffing and inspection issues a family would actually feel day to day.
Valley View runs 94 beds in Elkhart under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 14% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 59% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. The inspection record backs that up: 47 deficiencies, including several tied to abuse and two at the harm level, plus a single $284,560 fine. The quality measure score doesn't cancel out a one-star inspection history with that kind of churn.
Ignite Medical Resort Chesterton runs 70 certified beds as a for-profit, individually owned home, and the numbers that stand out are staffing and inspections. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is the sharper figure: 74.2% annually against a national average near 46%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The current record carries 53 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated February 24, 2026. Quality measures score well; inspections and staffing do not.
Majestic Care of South Bend runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.32 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. That matters more when you consider the 68.4% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care are frequently new. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 52 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and $116,322 in fines. A single most-recent inspection in August 2025 produced a 1-star health inspection rating. The quality measure score looks better than the rest, but staffing and compliance are where this home struggles most.
