Hickory Creek At Scottsburg

Scottsburg, IN · Scott County

CMS 5/5 36 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours
3.39 /day
Staff turnover
44%
Serious cites
0

Hickory Creek At Scottsburg runs a small house, 36 certified beds, under corporate for-profit ownership, and the inspection record is the strongest part of the picture. Thirteen deficiencies on file, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, with a survey completed in April 2025. Quality measures also score well. The catch is staffing: 3.39 nurse hours per resident day sits about 12 percent under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 13 percent below its own weekday level, and the 2-out-of-5 staffing rating reflects that thinness. Turnover at 44.1 percent is slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but not by much. Care looks safe on paper; the daily coverage does not.

0

Kingston Health Center Of Fort Wayne runs 137 certified beds under corporate, for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. That looks good until you notice weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 60.7% against a national average of 45.8%. Inspectors cited 25 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on June 25, 2025. CMS gives it 2 of 5 stars for health inspections but 5 of 5 for quality measures. The quality scores and staffing hours carry real weight; the inspection history and churn are what pull it back.

Staff turnover

Miller's Merry Manor in Garrett runs a clean building, three deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level, none related to abuse, and a recent inspection. Inspectors have had little to cite. The gap shows up in daily coverage instead. At 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, this home sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday staffing. Nearly half the nursing staff turned over in a year, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure. For a 76-bed for-profit home, that mix matters: strong survey results, thinner hands on weekends.

Lincoln Hills Of New Albany

New Albany, IN · Floyd County

CMS 4/5 156 beds Government Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
46%
Serious cites
0

Lincoln Hills Of New Albany runs on county money, and its 156 beds are staffed at 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. That gap widens on weekends, when hours drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 18 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, with one fine totaling $12,649. A recent December 2025 inspection keeps that record current. Staff turnover at 45.6% is essentially the national rate, and the quality measures look strong, but strong chart numbers don't offset three harm-level findings.

White River Lodge

Bedford, IN · Lawrence County

CMS 4/5 74 beds Government Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
43%
Serious cites
0

White River Lodge is county-owned, and that shows in the numbers that matter most: nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and turnover at 42.9% is a little better than the typical American nursing home. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. The record shows 5 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though 1 is abuse-related, ask about that directly. Its last inspection was in March 2026, so the picture is current. Where it slips is quality measures, which lag well behind its strong inspection and staffing marks.

Oak Grove Christian Retirement Village is a nonprofit home in Demotte with 73 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The bigger concern is the inspection record, 64 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5 despite a recent survey in September 2025. Staff turnover at 48.8% sits slightly above the national 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care.

Bell Trace Health And Living Center

CMS 5/5 90 beds Government Medicaid
Nurse hours

Serious cites
0

Bell Trace is county-owned, which is unusual in this business, and the inspection record reflects it: four deficiencies on file, none at the level where a resident was harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and no abuse citations. That last inspection was recent, in November 2025. The tradeoff shows up in the workforce. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends run another 10 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 55.3 percent against a national 45.8 percent. So you're looking at a home that gets the care basics right on paper but runs lean, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. Ask how they cover weekend shifts before you decide.

Waterford Place runs on a nonprofit model with 103 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86. That margin is real but thin, and weekends dip about 11% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover comes in at 41.9%, a bit better than the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies with nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations, and the most recent inspection was in February 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing is the softer spot.

Autumn Woods Health Campus runs 91 beds in New Albany under corporate ownership, and the inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a four-star health inspection rating, 15 deficiencies on file with just one at the harm level and none tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $11,921. Staffing is where it gets thinner. At 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday level, that gap matters when a Saturday fall happens. Turnover at 39.2% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay. The last inspection was May 2026.

Brickyard Healthcare - Knox Care Center

Brickyard Healthcare - Knox Care Center runs 57 beds in Starke County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its recent inspection record is genuinely clean: ten deficiencies on the books, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last state visit in April 2025. The tradeoff sits in daily staffing, which at 3.32 nurse hours per resident day runs about 14 percent under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover of 35.6 percent actually beats the national rate of 45.8, so the workforce is steadier than most. Strong quality measures and a solid inspection history, thinner hands on weekends, that's the honest picture.

Bethany Pointe Health Campus runs 74 certified beds in Anderson under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is 43.2%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations, and one fine of $12,740. Its last inspection came in May 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection sides pull the other way. Bottom line: adequate but not exceptional, with weekend coverage and that harm-level citation worth asking about directly.

Cedars The in Leo runs a nonprofit home of 65 beds, and its nurses put in 5.60 hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average of 3.86. That staffing depth is the strongest thing here, and the four-star staffing rating backs it up. The softer spots: weekend coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 55.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people delivering those hours keep changing. Inspections are recent and the health inspection rating is 4/5, but 21 deficiencies sit on the record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures land at 2/5.

Evergreen Crossing and The Lofts is a for-profit corporate home with 109 certified beds, and its inspection record is the first thing to notice: 33 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation. The most recent inspection was April 17, 2026. Staffing sits at 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 52.7%. The quality measure stars look strong, but that score reflects resident assessments rather than day-to-day care capacity. If you're weighing this one, ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse citation was resolved.

Friendship Home Association

Audubon, IA · Audubon County

Staff turnover
61%

Friendship Home Association in Audubon runs 46 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits just above the national average at 3.92 hours per resident day. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 15% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover is the bigger concern: 60.5% of employees leave annually, well above the 45.8% national rate, which matters for residents who value seeing the same faces. Inspections look solid on paper, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a visit as recent as June 2025, but the current record still carries 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $30,227.

Shell Rock Senior Living runs 41 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its most recent inspection in September 2025 left 29 deficiencies on the record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two tied to abuse. That's a heavy inspection load for a home this size, and CMS rates its health inspection results at just one star out of five. Daily nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover of 43.6% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. One fine on record totals $17,167.

Nora Springs Care Center runs on thin staffing. At 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 40.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability among the aides and nurses who stay. The inspection record is genuinely strong: nine deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related citation, and a survey as recent as May 2025. The for-profit LLC ownership and that 2-out-of-5 staffing rating are the real story here. Quality measures and inspections look good; the daily coverage is what you'd want to ask about.

Accura Healthcare of Ames runs 75 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.96 hours per resident day, roughly 23% under the national mark of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below what the home itself provides on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national average. Inspections show 19 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 2026, and CMS gives the home mid-range marks for health inspections and staffing, with a stronger 4 out of 5 on quality measures.

Faith Lutheran Home runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 50 beds in Osage, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and the home carries just two deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level, none tied to abuse, with a fresh inspection from July 2025. The catch is retention: annual turnover of 56.1% runs well ahead of the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops about 13% below weekday levels. That churn is worth asking about directly, since steady caregivers matter as much as raw staffing hours.

Westbrook Acres runs about 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 32.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and its last inspection was recent (March 2026), yet the record carries 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. State inspectors gave it 4 of 5 stars, but the federal quality measures come in at just 1, which is worth asking about directly.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
44%
Serious cites
0

St. Luke Lutheran runs a lean weekend crew, about 7% thinner than its own weekday coverage, and overall nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average. Turnover lands near the middle of the pack at 44.1%, so that's not the problem here. The problem is the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and $90,076 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection closed in September 2025, so it's recent. A low inspection rating paired with real abuse findings is the piece families should weigh hardest, even with steady staffing and decent quality scores.
