Westminster Village Muncie is a 76-bed nonprofit home, and the numbers behind it are steady. Nurse staffing runs 4.35 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 8% below its own weekday level, normal, but worth asking about. Staff turnover sits at 34.2% against a national average near 46%, which suggests people tend to stay. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2026. For a family weighing options, this reads as a well-staffed, stable nonprofit with a clean serious-deficiency record.

Staff turnover

Timbercrest runs on 4.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and it earns the top federal staffing rating for it. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, which is a real gap but a modest one. Staff turnover sits at 25%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The health inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in August 2025. County-owned and small at 65 beds, it pairs strong quality measure scores with a solid but not flawless inspection history.

Hubbard Hill Estates runs a tight ship on the numbers that matter most. Nurse staffing sits at 4.27 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and weekend coverage stays reasonably close to weekday levels even though it dips roughly 14%. Staff turnover of 31.5% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around, a good sign for residents who value consistent caregivers. The inspection record backs that up: five total deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in December 2025. For a 66-bed nonprofit in Elkhart, that combination of low turnover, solid staffing, and a clean complaint history is what a family should be looking for.

Heritage Pointe of Fort Wayne runs on county government ownership, and the numbers show a home that's been steady for a while. Nurse staffing sits at 4.40 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 8% below its own weekday level, a smaller gap than many places manage. Turnover is the standout: 14.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents largely stick around. The current record shows 5 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though 2 are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 2026, and both the health inspection and quality measure ratings came back at 5 out of 5.

Holy Cross Village runs nurse staffing at 4.89 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 35.5% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. The tradeoff is the inspection record: 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 3-out-of-5 health inspection rating, though the most recent inspection was May 2026. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The quality measure rating comes in at 4 out of 5. Strong everyday staffing and steady retention, but the harm-level and abuse-related citations deserve a direct question before you decide.

Lutheran Life Villages runs 99 certified beds in Kendallville under county government ownership, and its inspection record is the cleanest part of the story: five deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit in March 2026. Staffing is where the numbers get more ordinary. At 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 40.3% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month.

Lutheran Life Villages runs 84 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers hold up well. Nurse staffing sits at 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below what the home provides on weekdays, so ask how that gap gets managed. Staff turnover is 41.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. Seven deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent inspection in March 2026.

Restoracy Of Goshen runs 48 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its strongest card is nursing hours: 5.70 per resident per day, roughly 48% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Staff turnover sits at 50.6%, above the 45.8% national figure, worth asking about, since consistent caregivers matter. CMS rates quality measures 5/5, staffing 4/5, and health inspections 3/5.

Lutheran Life Villages runs about 4.08 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 6% above the national average, and its staff retention is stronger than most, 33% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Sundays and holidays. The 11 deficiencies on record include three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is more mixed. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders, which tends to shape how it spends on direct care.

Middletown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 45 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the standout: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with weekend coverage holding close to weekday levels. Turnover sits at 26.3 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for how well aides know the residents. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, nine deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, none at harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in November 2025. Quality and health inspection ratings land at three out of five stars each. Nothing here is alarming, but the abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly.

Weekend staffing dips about 12 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. County-owned, 133 beds, three separate four-star ratings from CMS on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Eleven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Solid, consistent numbers across the board.

Lutheran Community Home runs on a nonprofit model with 95 certified beds in Seymour, and its staffing is the clearest strength here, 4.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86. That shows up in its five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, though, so care may look different on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 47.4%, just above the national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses still cycle through. Its inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent survey in December 2025. Quality measures land at three stars, softer than the staffing story.

Restoracy Of Whitestown runs 72 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits well above average, 5.69 hours per resident day against a national norm of 3.86. That extra coverage holds up on weekends, dipping only about 3% below weekday levels, and the home carries eight deficiencies on its current record with none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse. Staff turnover is 47.2%, a touch above the national 45.8%, so the workforce churns a little faster than typical even with strong numbers on the floor. The last inspection came in February 2026, and the inspection and quality measure ratings both land in the top tier.

Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover is 48%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where things get uneven: 23 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse. The health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5, while quality measures hit 5 out of 5 and staffing earns 4. The last inspection was March 12, 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. Strong daily staffing and quality scores coexist with inspection problems worth asking about directly.

Bertha D Garten Ketcham Memorial Center runs on 4.40 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86, that's the strongest thing in its numbers. Weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor. Staff turnover is 42.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national rate. Against that, the current record carries 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, and its last inspection was January 2026. The staffing and quality stars come in at 4 out of 5, inspection at 3.

Pines of Dekalb runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.50 hours per resident day, roughly 9 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the better story: 38.8 percent leaving annually against a national 45.8 percent, which suggests a steadier crew than average. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record, none causing harm and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was August 2025. The low-harm citation record and strong quality measures explain why this for-profit corporate home scores well despite the light staffing.

Mulberry Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 159 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection closed out in June 2025 with ten deficiencies on record, none of them tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse. That's a clean paper trail, which lines up with the top marks it earns on both health inspections and quality measures. Staffing is where the picture softens: 3.47 nurse hours per resident day sits about 10% under the national average, weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekdays, and the staffing star comes in at 3 out of 5. Turnover at 33.1% is actually well below the national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay.

Weekend coverage dips about 14 percent below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 33.9 percent against a national 45.8, lower churn than most places, which matters for residents who value seeing the same faces. The 34 deficiencies on record carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality and health inspection ratings both land at three stars, so care is solid without being exceptional.

Staff turnover is 41.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still a reminder that consistent caregivers matter. Eleven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2026.

Evansville Protestant Home runs on a nonprofit model with 49 certified beds, and its strongest number is staffing: 5.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average. That cushion matters, though weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 46%, almost identical to the national 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers isn't a distinguishing strength. Where the record gets harder to read is inspections and care quality, both rated 2 out of 5, with 19 deficiencies on file and one at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current. Strong hands-on staffing, middling oversight results.
