Abuse icon on record

Castleton Health Care Center runs on thin staffing. At 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average, with weekends roughly 10% lighter than weekdays. Annual turnover hits 67.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative are often new and still learning the building. The inspection record is the harder problem: 59 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, and CMS has placed this corporate-owned Indianapolis home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the worst repeat offenders. A recent September 2025 inspection means the state is watching closely, but the pattern behind those numbers is what matters.

Abuse icon on record

Robin Run has more direct nursing hours per resident than most homes, 4.27 versus a national average of 3.86, but those hours thin out on weekends, and the staff itself turns over at 66.2% a year against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the raw staffing number, because it's the same people who are supposed to know your parent's routine. The inspection record is the bigger problem: 60 deficiencies on file, four serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, the list reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. A recent inspection in September 2025 doesn't erase that pattern. Its quality-measure scores look good on paper; the deficiency history says look closer.
