Nursing homes across Henry County, Indiana, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Middletown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 45 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the standout: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with weekend coverage holding close to weekday levels. Turnover sits at 26.3 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for how well aides know the residents. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, nine deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, none at harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in November 2025. Quality and health inspection ratings land at three out of five stars each. Nothing here is alarming, but the abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly.
Glen Oaks runs lean on nurse staffing, 3.16 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 18% less. Weekends dip about 16% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Its inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, one abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in late 2025, so that picture is current. Turnover cuts the other way: 33.3% annually against 45.8% nationally, which suggests people stay. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are middling. For-profit corporate ownership and 68 beds round out the profile.
The Waters Of New Castle runs lean on nursing hours, 3.26 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage is the main thing dragging its staffing picture down. What offsets it somewhat: staff retention is unusually steady at 24.5% turnover versus 45.8% nationally, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces, and the home has a recent inspection on record with 12 deficiencies, only one at the harm level and none tied to abuse. Quality measures score well. As a nonprofit, it isn't managing to a quarterly earnings target, which tends to matter for how consistently a building staffs its floor.
The Waters of Middletown runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.65 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 8% below its own weekday level. That gap shows up in the staffing star rating, and the 52.8% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, means the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely to change often.
Inspections are the stronger side: a January 2026 survey, 18 deficiencies on record with none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The limited liability ownership and below-average staffing are what pull the grade down despite the quality measures looking strong on paper.
Stonebrooke is county-owned, which is unusual in this business, and the staffing reflects it: 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average. Turnover sits at 38.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends get thinner, though, down about 14% from weekday coverage. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere. Inspectors cited 30 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, and the quality measure rating lands at 2 out of 5. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the record is current. Good staffing, real compliance problems, and a county government holding the license. Worth asking about those two abuse citations directly.
Hickory Creek At New Castle runs 36 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers families tend to ask about first are the ones worth sitting with. Nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, with weekends dipping about 8% below the home's own weekday level, the staffing star rating lands at 1 out of 5. Turnover is the sharper number: 69.4% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member may not be there in a year. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse. Its last inspection was May 29, 2026.
The Willows of New Castle runs about 3.75 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a 58.8% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS giving staffing 1 out of 5 stars. The current record carries 22 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none are abuse-related. A March 2026 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection rating is the strongest piece here. Quality measures sit at 2/5, and the corporate for-profit owner runs 95 beds.
