Here are 6 Nursing Homes in Bartholomew County, IN
Nursing homes across Bartholomew County, Indiana, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Four Seasons runs about 5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, roughly 30% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 13% from its own weekday level, a modest drop, not a staffing cliff. Staff turnover sits at 20%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who need consistent faces. The home carries 8 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, with its most recent inspection dated June 2025. It's a small nonprofit, 30 beds, so read those numbers as a snapshot of a stable, well-staffed operation rather than a guarantee about what any single week feels like.
Silver Oaks runs 4.80 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and its staff turnover of 35.5% sits well below the typical 45.8%, both signs of a stable, well-covered floor. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 19 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level, and a single $8,824 fine. Weekend staffing dips about 5% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The most recent inspection was May 12, 2026, meaning the record reflects current conditions rather than old ones. Corporate ownership and a 3-out-of-5 inspection rating are worth asking about directly.
Hickory Creek At Columbus runs on thinner nursing hours than most places, 3.35 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage gets lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 38.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because familiar staff know these 36 residents. The county owns it, and its record looks clean where it counts: eight deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and the last inspection was September 2025. Quality measures score high, though the low staffing rating is the number that shapes daily life.
Miller's Merry Manor in Hope runs 75 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the nurse staffing number is the first thing worth noticing: 3.31 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86. That gap shows up on weekends too, when coverage drops about 10% below the home's own weekday level, exactly when families tend to visit and when problems are easiest to miss. Staff turnover sits at 51%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care cycle through fairly quickly. The current inspection record lists 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. The most recent inspection was May 27, 2025, so the picture is current.
Belmont Health & Rehabilitation runs on county money, which usually means stable funding but not always generous staffing. Its 3.74 nurse hours per resident day sit just under the national average, and weekends drop about 21% below its own weekday levels, that's the gap families notice when they visit on a Saturday. Turnover is 45.5%, essentially the national rate, so continuity isn't worse than typical. The 21 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged as harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was September 2025, so the paperwork is current. The staffing star tells the real story here: one out of five, with quality measures at two.
Willow Crossing is county-owned, and it runs 112 beds in Columbus with staffing that sits about 10% under the national average, 3.46 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends tell a bigger story than the yearly figure: coverage drops roughly 22% below the home's own weekday level, so the hours your family member gets on a Saturday look different from a Tuesday. Turnover sits at 48.4%, a few points above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated March 11, 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5.
