Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Indiana, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
18 homes
in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Aperion Care Hanover runs 125 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are thin: 3.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 55.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are frequently new to the building. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 57 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $53,874 fine. Its most recent inspection was April 2026. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how they've addressed the abuse-related findings.
Warsaw Meadows runs 80 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers worth knowing sit in its inspection record and its staffing. State inspectors have cited 29 deficiencies, four of them at a level involving actual harm or jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. Fines total $105,073, and the most recent inspection was September 8, 2025.
Nurse staffing comes to 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends about 4% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover runs 54.7%, against a national 45.8%. CMS rates the health inspection side 1 out of 5, staffing and quality measures 2 out of 5 each.
If you're weighing this one, ask about the abuse citations directly, and ask how the weekend shift is covered.
Sycamore Care Strategies runs 56 beds in Loogootee under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers there are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 2.76 hours per resident day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 6% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level, plus four fines totaling $30,921; the most recent inspection was March 2025. Both the health inspection and quality measure ratings sit at 1 out of 5 stars. Nothing here is abuse-related, but staffing and inspection results are the two things to weigh hardest.
Chesterton Manor runs on thin staffing. At 3.22 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 17% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home already provides on weekdays. That gap matters most when a resident needs help between Friday night and Monday morning.
Turnover tells a related story: 69.4% of staff left over the past year, against a national average of 45.8%. When two of every three caregivers are new or leaving, consistency is hard to build. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse. State inspectors last visited in March 2025, and the federal star ratings come back low across staffing, quality measures, and health inspections.
The numbers here are hard to get around. Forty-two deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to put residents at actual harm, plus $253,955 in fines across four separate penalties, that's a lot of enforcement for a 56-bed building. Staffing sits well below where you'd want it, and the low inspection rating reflects problems that keep showing up rather than getting fixed, which is why CMS put this home in its Special Focus Facility program. That designation means closer federal monitoring and a deadline to improve or lose Medicare funding.
The one piece of good news is that none of the deficiencies are abuse-related. But recent inspections and persistent shortfalls in care and staffing are the real story. If you're considering this home, ask what's changed since February 2026 and get specifics.
Aperion Care Vincennes runs 170 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 2.93 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so the hours when families tend to visit are often the hours with the least coverage. Staff turnover is 65.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely weren't there last year. The current inspection record carries 65 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026.
Woodland Manor runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, and the gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level. That matters more than the raw hours suggest, because nearly 70% of the nursing staff turned over in a year, well above the national rate, so the people providing care keep changing. The inspection record backs up the concern: 50 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and four tied to abuse, with $114,339 in fines. A recent November 2025 inspection gives some current picture, but three one-star ratings across health, quality, and staffing describe a home struggling on every measure at once.
