Our read on St Augustine Home For The Aged

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.
