St. Augustine Home for the Aged is a small nonprofit home in Indianapolis, just 23 certified beds, and its recent inspection history is mostly clean where it counts: 13 deficiencies on record, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, with the last survey completed in July 2025. Two abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly, since those tend to say more about staffing and supervision than paperwork does. The quality measure side is strong, and inspection results sit above average. Where this home gives ground is staffing, which is what holds its overall standing back despite solid clinical numbers. Ask about direct care hours per resident on evenings and weekends.

Swiss Village runs 4.39 nurse hours per resident day, about 14 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.4 percent sits well under the 45.8 percent national figure, that combination is harder to find than it should be. Weekend staffing drops roughly 12 percent below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Five deficiencies are on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was December 2025. As a nonprofit with 128 beds, it has the staffing depth and consistency that show up in the numbers.

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.

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.

University Place in West Lafayette runs a small 30-bed home with church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers stand out. At 7.02 nurse hours per resident day, it's roughly 82% above the national average of 3.86, more than double the typical direct care. Turnover sits at 39.3%, below the 45.8% national figure, and weekend staffing dips only about 5% from weekdays, which is a mild drop. The trade-off is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, one at the harm level, with a 3-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was in November 2025. Quality measures rate 4 stars. You're getting a well-staffed home with a longer-than-ideal deficiency list, though nothing abuse-related.

Southfield Village is county-owned, and that shows in the staffing: 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips only about 5% below weekdays, which is mild, and turnover sits at 25% against a national 45.8%, people tend to stay. The catch is inspections. Twenty-one deficiencies are on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last visit was January 13, 2026, so it's recent. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating alongside 5-out-of-5 quality measures describes a home that cares for residents well but has real documentation and process problems to clean up.

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.

Christian Care in Bluffton runs 4.73 nurse hours per resident per day, which is about 22% above the national average of 3.86, that's a real staffing cushion, not a rounding difference. Weekends dip roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift won't look like a Tuesday, and staff turnover sits at 38.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Five deficiencies on the current record, none tied to harm or abuse, and the last inspection was August 2025. It's a for-profit corporation, so margins matter here, but the numbers above are the ones that decide what your family member's day actually looks like.

Ossian Health Care and Rehabilitation Center sits in Wells County with 100 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership. Staffing runs about 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below the home's own weekday coverage. That's the main soft spot. Turnover, though, is 34% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. On inspections, six deficiencies appear on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection closed out in April 2026. Ownership is individual for-profit, meaning one person's name is on the license rather than a chain's.
