All 11 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Muncie,
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.
Westminster Village Muncie is a 76-bed nonprofit home, and the numbers behind it are steady. Nurse staffing runs 4.35 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 8% below its own weekday level, normal, but worth asking about. Staff turnover sits at 34.2% against a national average near 46%, which suggests people tend to stay. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2026. For a family weighing options, this reads as a well-staffed, stable nonprofit with a clean serious-deficiency record.
Morrison Woods sits in Muncie with 68 certified beds and for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing runs 4.67 hours per resident day, about 21% above the national average, and turnover at 45% is essentially right at the national figure. The trade-offs show up elsewhere: a 3/5 health inspection rating with 17 deficiencies on the current record, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Weekend staffing dips roughly 7% below weekday levels. The 5/5 quality measure rating is the strongest number here, but the inspection record and those two abuse citations are what a family should be asking about directly.
The Woodlands in Muncie runs 108 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families are most likely to visit. State inspectors logged 29 deficiencies on the current record, five of them abuse-related, with no harm-level findings, and the last full inspection was March 2025. Staff turnover of 44.4% is roughly in line with the national 45.8%, while the 2/5 inspection rating reflects that citation history.
Bethel Pointe runs a nonprofit home with 114 beds in Muncie, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. State inspectors visited recently, in February 2026, and found eleven deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse, a record that supports the four-out-of-five inspection rating. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about six percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly eighteen percent leaner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Annual turnover of 46.9% edges just past the national 45.8%. Quality measures score five out of five; staffing earns three.
Brickyard Healthcare - Muncie Care Center runs 117 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 55.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because constant churn makes it harder for residents to know who's caring for them. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 32 deficiencies, including 5 tied to abuse and 2 at the harm or jeopardy level, plus $22,360 in fines. Quality measures score well, but that's the part families can't see at the bedside.
Waters Edge Village runs 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday staffing, so care thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 54.4% against a national 45.8%, which means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The 16 deficiencies on record include six tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. Its quality measure score is perfect while staffing sits at two stars, a split worth noticing: the home documents good clinical outcomes, but the daily coverage behind them is thinner and less stable than average.
Envive of Muncie runs 60 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing picture is the main thing to know: 3.60 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11% thinner than its own weekdays. That pattern shows up in the federal staffing rating of 1 out of 5 even though quality measures score 4 out of 5. The inspection record carries 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 31, 2026. Staffing is where the gaps sit; the care-quality numbers and the absence of serious deficiencies are what keep the overall picture from being worse.
The Waters of Muncie runs on 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8 percent under the national average, and weekends dip another 8 percent below its own weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 1 out of 5, and turnover of 56.7 percent means well over half the nursing staff leaves each year. Its 31 deficiencies include six tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025. Quality measures look strong at 5 out of 5, and it's city or county owned, but the inspection record and the hours on the floor are the numbers worth weighing.
Signature Healthcare of Muncie is a for-profit home with 140 beds, and its inspection record is the first thing to look at: 59 deficiencies, including 17 tied to abuse and one at the level that caused actual harm or put residents in jeopardy. The last inspection was March 20, 2026, so the record is recent. Nurse staffing sits at 3.80 hours per resident day, slightly below the national average, and it thins out on weekends by roughly 15% compared to weekdays. Staff turnover is 70.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The quality measure rating looks strong on paper, but that's survey data, not the inspection findings.
Cardinal Care Strategies has enough aides and nurses on paper, 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, but those hours are spread across a workforce that nearly completely turns over each year. At 98.7% turnover, almost every caregiver you meet in January is gone by the next, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is where the trouble concentrates: 57 deficiencies currently on file, three serious enough to endanger residents, and 18 tied to abuse. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the poorest performers. The most recent inspection, in January 2026, produced a health rating of 1 out of 5, matching its quality score.
Brookside Care Strategies runs 42 beds in Muncie, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 2.69 hours per resident day, roughly 30 percent under the national average, and the trouble isn't spread evenly: weekend coverage actually runs about 8 percent above the home's own weekday level, which tells you the weekday floor is the weak spot. The deficiency record is heavy: 54 citations on file, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 15 tied to abuse. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care, and the most recent inspection was May 21, 2026.
