How hospital-based homes in Indiana compare
This group set against every nursing home in Indiana, from the current CMS release.
Heritage House is county-owned, which is unusual these days, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, four stars, nine deficiencies on the books, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, with a survey done in January 2026. The catch is staffing, where it earns two stars: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national figure, and weekends run about 7 percent thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 38.1 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national rate. So you have a home that keeps residents safe and scores well on quality measures, but runs leaner than average on the floor, worth asking how that feels on a Sunday.
Hammond-Whiting Care Center runs 80 certified beds in Whiting under for-profit corporate ownership, and the numbers split in two directions. The clinical quality measures hold up reasonably well, but the staffing side is thin: 3.64 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 13 percent below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 49.3 percent, above the national 45.8 percent, so the people covering those shifts keep changing.
The inspection record is the harder read. Fifty-five deficiencies are on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the health inspection rating is 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was February 11, 2026, recent enough to reflect current conditions.
If you're considering this home, ask about weekend coverage and how abuse-related deficiencies were resolved.
Envive of Brookville runs about 3.35 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends dip another 8 percent below its own weekday coverage. That thin schedule is the main reason its staffing rating sits at 2 out of 5, even though turnover at 42.1 percent actually comes in slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent survey was in March 2026. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5. If you're weighing this one, ask how they cover weekends and what that abuse citation involved.
Wellbrooke of Carmel runs 74 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a story worth noticing. Nurses provide 3.55 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 49.2%, higher than the 45.8% national figure.
The inspection record is where things get more serious: 25 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with one fine of $15,646. The last inspection was January 21, 2026. CMS rates staffing and health inspections at 2 out of 5 stars each, though its quality measure score is 5 out of 5. Ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
Waters Edge Village runs 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday staffing, so care thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 54.4% against a national 45.8%, which means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The 16 deficiencies on record include six tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. Its quality measure score is perfect while staffing sits at two stars, a split worth noticing: the home documents good clinical outcomes, but the daily coverage behind them is thinner and less stable than average.
Century Villa runs lean on nursing hours, 3.47 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That's the number to watch if your family member needs help on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 36.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The inspection record is clean where it counts: 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and the most recent survey was December 2025. The non-profit owner has kept outcomes solid; the open question is whether staffing stays thin on weekends.
Charlestown Place At New Albany runs a hospital-district operation with 158 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday level, and it's undercut by turnover of 64.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning a large share of caregivers are still new to the building.
The inspection record is the harder problem: 52 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $31,784 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so that picture is current, not stale. Quality measures score well; the day-to-day care environment is where the risk concentrates.
Brickyard Healthcare's Brentwood Care Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.38 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday numbers, so families should ask who's actually on the floor Saturday and Sunday. That said, the corporate owner has kept turnover at 35.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents. The health inspection record is genuinely clean: five stars, 13 deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related, last reviewed in April 2026.
Wellbrooke Of Crawfordsville runs lean on the floor. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident each day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 16% below its own weekday staffing, meaning the days when families visit most are the thinnest. Staff turnover of 48.5% runs slightly above the national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. On paper the state survey history looks strong: a 4/5 inspection rating, most recent visit in November 2025, and just one deficiency at the harm level out of sixteen total, none abuse-related. The staffing star tells the harder truth here, one out of five, and it's the number worth asking about when you tour.
Beaumont Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 200 certified beds in Anderson, and the numbers families should weigh sit mostly on the staffing and inspection side. Nurse staffing is 3.11 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent under the national average, weekend coverage dips below its own weekday level, and more than half the nursing staff turned over in a year. The inspection record shows 40 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with one fine of $14,901 and a survey completed in September 2025. Quality measures score well, which reflects resident care outcomes on paper, but that contrast is worth asking about directly when you visit.
Hickory Creek At Peru runs 36 beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers pull in two directions. Clinical quality measures look strong and the health inspection record is solid, a recent December 2025 inspection with 19 deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or tied to abuse. Staffing is the weak spot: 3.58 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 11% below the home's own weekday levels, and turnover runs 61.3% against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more in a small building, where the same few aides cycle through and familiarity with residents is harder to hold onto.
The Waters of Hobart runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.24 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 13% below its own weekday level. That's a one-star federal staffing rating, and annual turnover of 48.1% sits slightly above the national figure, so the aides and nurses on the floor keep changing. Its health inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related; the most recent inspection was June 17, 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership, 110 beds. The quality measure rating is strong at 4 out of 5, which makes the thin staffing the real question to ask about.
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.
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.
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.
Plainfield Health Care Center runs 189 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.22 nurse hours per resident per day, about 17% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 12% lighter than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 61.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. The inspection record shows 56 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and six tied to abuse. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the most persistently troubled homes. One fine of $31,852 is on record. The last inspection was May 21, 2026.
Warsaw Meadows runs 80 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers worth knowing sit in its inspection record and its staffing. State inspectors have cited 29 deficiencies, four of them at a level involving actual harm or jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. Fines total $105,073, and the most recent inspection was September 8, 2025.
Nurse staffing comes to 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends about 4% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover runs 54.7%, against a national 45.8%. CMS rates the health inspection side 1 out of 5, staffing and quality measures 2 out of 5 each.
If you're weighing this one, ask about the abuse citations directly, and ask how the weekend shift is covered.
