Nursing homes across Marion County, Indiana, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Wildwood Healthcare Center runs 160 beds on Indianapolis's east side, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday level, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record backs that up: 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Turnover at 43.2% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measures look decent, but a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating tells you where the pressure lands. Ask who's on the floor on a Sunday.
Westpark A Waters Community runs on thin staffing. At 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 9% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage families count on shrinks right when many visit. Turnover tells a bigger story: 76.1% of staff leave each year against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are constantly new. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last in on June 10, 2025, and the health inspection rating came back 2 out of 5. Limited liability ownership, for-profit. The quality measure score of 4 out of 5 is the bright spot, but it rests on a staffing picture that isn't holding steady.
The Waters of Indianapolis runs 81 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, roughly 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover is 46.6%, close to the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here; raw hours are. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, six of them abuse-related, with zero flagged at harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors were last in on June 26, 2025. CMS gives 2 of 5 stars for both health inspections and staffing, 3 of 5 for quality measures.
Allison Pointe runs 159 certified beds on Indianapolis's east side, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 10 percent below what the home itself staffs during the week, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.1 percent runs well above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are often new to the building.
The inspection history is heavy: 69 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. A $56,381 fine is on file, and the most recent inspection was February 25, 2026, recent enough to reflect how the home operates now.
Castleton Health Care Center runs on thin staffing. At 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average, with weekends roughly 10% lighter than weekdays. Annual turnover hits 67.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative are often new and still learning the building.
The inspection record is the harder problem: 59 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, and CMS has placed this corporate-owned Indianapolis home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the worst repeat offenders. A recent September 2025 inspection means the state is watching closely, but the pattern behind those numbers is what matters.
Robin Run has more direct nursing hours per resident than most homes, 4.27 versus a national average of 3.86, but those hours thin out on weekends, and the staff itself turns over at 66.2% a year against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the raw staffing number, because it's the same people who are supposed to know your parent's routine. The inspection record is the bigger problem: 60 deficiencies on file, four serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, the list reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. A recent inspection in September 2025 doesn't erase that pattern. Its quality-measure scores look good on paper; the deficiency history says look closer.
