Nursing homes across Huntington County, Indiana, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Heritage Pointe of Warren is county-owned, and the numbers suggest that public ownership is working in residents' favor here. Nurse staffing sits at 4.43 hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 7% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 41.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still a reminder that consistent caregivers matter. Eleven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2026. The three CMS star ratings, inspection, quality measures, and staffing, all land at four out of five.
Hickory Creek At Huntington runs 36 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. The health inspection record is decent, a 4/5 inspection rating, with the most recent survey in March 2026, and eight deficiencies total, none of which rose to harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Where this home stands out is turnover: 24% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the caregivers here tend to stay. Staffing hours tell the opposite story, at 3.27 per resident day, roughly 15% below the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday baseline. The quality measures look strong, but the staffing rating sits at 2/5, so weigh consistency of care against how thin the daily coverage actually runs.
Envive of Huntington runs on 3.16 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, with weekends about 7 percent thinner than weekdays, so the coverage gap is real and it's worst when families tend to visit. The health inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, four of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level; the last inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score well, but that's the part of the record that depends least on having enough hands on the floor. Corporate-owned, 55 beds, and a staffing rating near the bottom of the federal scale: the numbers describe a building where the care depends heavily on who's working that shift.
The Waters of Huntington runs on thin nursing coverage, 3.15 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips even lower than its own weekday level. That shortfall shows up in its inspection record: 26 deficiencies, three of them at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and one tied to abuse. A single fine of $85,480 followed. What's odd is the split in the federal stars: five out of five on quality measures, but one out of five on both staffing and health inspections. Staff turnover, at 43.1%, is slightly better than average, so retention isn't the core problem, the problem is how few hours of nursing care make it to residents each day.
Heritage Pointe of Huntington is a nonprofit home with 78 beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture, 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, with turnover at 38.2% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays.
The inspection record is where the concern sits. Sixteen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was February 11, 2026. That combination, solid staffing alongside a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating and serious citations, is worth asking the administrator about directly before you decide.
