All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Connersville,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Caroleton runs a 50-bed for-profit home in Connersville, and the inspection record is the strong part: a 4 out of 5 health inspection rating, twelve deficiencies on file with none rising to harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent survey done in April 2026. Staffing is where it thins out. At 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday levels, so coverage depends on when you visit. Turnover at 32.1% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests aides tend to stay. Quality measures score 5 out of 5. Ask about weekend and evening coverage specifically.
Hickory Creek At Connersville runs a 36-bed home in Fayette County, and the inspection record is genuinely strong, one deficiency on the books, none at the harm level, no abuse citations, and a survey completed in November 2025, so the picture is recent. What holds it back is staffing: 3.09 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 20% below. Weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 50% against a national 45.8%, meaning about half the staff leaves each year. For a small for-profit building, that gap matters most on a Saturday night, when fewer people are on the floor to notice a change in a resident. Ask how the weekend shift is actually covered.
Heritage House is county-owned, which is unusual these days, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, four stars, nine deficiencies on the books, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, with a survey done in January 2026. The catch is staffing, where it earns two stars: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national figure, and weekends run about 7 percent thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 38.1 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national rate. So you have a home that keeps residents safe and scores well on quality measures, but runs leaner than average on the floor, worth asking how that feels on a Sunday.
Majestic Care of Connersville runs 113 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the real story here. At 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, it trails the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 19% below its own weekday level, that's when coverage thins out most. The inspection record backs up the concern: 34 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The last inspection was August 2025, so the findings are recent. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results tell the more important part of this home's story.
