How government-run homes in Indiana compare
This group set against every nursing home in Indiana, from the current CMS release.
Maple Park Village runs on 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a 2/5 staffing rating, 56.3% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, and 21 deficiencies on the current record, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. The county owns it, so there's no corporate parent to blame or credit. Its quality measure score is strong at 4/5, which suggests some clinical care is being tracked well, but the last inspection was September 2025 and the health inspection rating sits at 2/5.
American Village is county-owned and holds 150 beds, and its last inspection was in March 2026, so the record on file is recent. That record shows 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. Staffing is where the pattern holds: 3.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends running about 16% below its own weekdays, and turnover at 54.4% compared with 45.8% nationally. The quality measure rating of 5 out of 5 sits alongside a 2 out of 5 on both inspection and staffing, which tells you the clinical measures look better than the day-to-day coverage.
Willows Of Richmond is county-owned and runs 87 beds, with a recent inspection on record from May 2025. The staffing picture is the main thing to know: 3.16 nurse hours per resident day sits about 18% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 23% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is 35.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so people tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with middle-of-the-road marks across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.
Envive of Evansville is county-owned and holds 200 certified beds, and its inspection record is the part that stands out most: 46 total deficiencies on file, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 1 abuse-related, with 11 fines totaling $74,236. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, and the last inspection date is March 2026, so that record is recent, not stale. Staffing lands at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 4% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover runs 44.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure.
Vermillion Convalescent Center runs on 2.76 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 29 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The county owns it, and turnover sits at 46.8 percent, close to the national 45.8. Inspectors were last in on August 19, 2025, and the current record carries 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse. The staffing star lands at 1, quality at 2, health inspection at 3.
Carmel Health & Living Community is county-owned, which can mean stability, but the numbers here tell a harder story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage gap shows up exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is the bigger worry: 69.8% a year against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are often brand new. The inspection record backs that up: 30 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus one fine. The state last inspected in September 2025.
Paoli Health And Living Community is county-owned, with 109 certified beds in Orange County. Nurse staffing runs 3.26 hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 58% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year.
The inspection record is the heavier problem: 28 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with $28,138 in fines. The last inspection was April 11, 2025. Quality measures score well, but one star on health inspections and two on staffing tell you where the trouble actually lives.
Belmont Health & Rehabilitation runs on county money, which usually means stable funding but not always generous staffing. Its 3.74 nurse hours per resident day sit just under the national average, and weekends drop about 21% below its own weekday levels, that's the gap families notice when they visit on a Saturday. Turnover is 45.5%, essentially the national rate, so continuity isn't worse than typical. The 21 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged as harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was September 2025, so the paperwork is current. The staffing star tells the real story here: one out of five, with quality measures at two.
Willow Crossing is county-owned, and it runs 112 beds in Columbus with staffing that sits about 10% under the national average, 3.46 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends tell a bigger story than the yearly figure: coverage drops roughly 22% below the home's own weekday level, so the hours your family member gets on a Saturday look different from a Tuesday. Turnover sits at 48.4%, a few points above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated March 11, 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5.
Crown Point Health Campus is county-owned, and it's in the CMS Special Focus Facility program, which is a short list of homes the government tracks because problems keep showing up. The inspection record backs that up: 67 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $25,665. Nurse staffing runs 3.26 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, that's when gaps tend to bite. The last inspection was in March 2026, so the record is current, not stale. If you're considering this one, ask specifically what the abuse-related findings involved and how weekend coverage is handled.
Springhill Village is county-owned, and the numbers show a home that gets inspected well but runs lean on the floor. Nurse staffing sits at 3.32 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover runs 61.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection side holds up at 4 stars, with 17 deficiencies on record and none at harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures and staffing both land at 2 stars. The February 2026 inspection is recent. What you're weighing is solid oversight against thin, unstable coverage.
Munster Med-Inn is county-run and large, 225 certified beds, but its current record is one of the heaviest in the CMS system. Inspectors have cited 57 deficiencies, five of them at a level where residents were actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. That combination is why CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes. Nurse staffing runs about 11% below the national average, and weekends drop roughly 18% below the home's own weekday levels, meaning coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. The most recent inspection, in January 2026, is recent enough that this isn't a stale picture.
Core Of Dale is a 52-bed county-run home in Spencer County, and the numbers behind its record are worth reading closely. Nurse staffing sits at 2.99 hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average, and weekends run about 13% thinner than the home's own weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The deficiency record shows 31 citations, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with two CMS fines totaling $86,444. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. Its most recent inspection was April 7, 2026.
