Overview of Miller’s Merry Manor

Miller’s Merry Manor is a 107-bed skilled nursing facility in Walkerton, Indiana, providing short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, memory care, and respite services to residents throughout Marshall County. It is operated by Johnson Memorial Hospital and it carries both Medicare and Medicaid certification and accepts private pay.

CMS rates the facility well above the Indiana average overall, driven largely by health inspection performance — 83.2% above the state benchmark. That record has improved in recent years. The December 2024 recertification survey found no deficiencies, and a July 2025 complaint investigation was unsubstantiated.

Earlier inspections, including a 12-deficiency standard survey in November 2022 and a 7-deficiency survey in January 2024, cited issues with care planning, infection control, and medication management. No fines or enforcement actions appear in the record. The quality measures sub-rating is 25.9% below the Indiana average, the one category where the facility trails its peers.

Rehabilitation is the facility’s core identity. The proprietary Real. Life. Rehab program structures short-stay recovery, and staff coordinate directly with discharge planners at area hospitals. Hospice services are available on-site, and the facility offers both private and shared accommodations. Amenities include restaurant-style premier dining and a wheelchair-accessible van for community outings.

The facility’s occupancy rate is 51%, well below Indiana’s average of 68.1%, reflecting current availability for both short- and long-term admissions. Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 21 minutes per resident per day — modestly below the Indiana average of 3 hours and 32 minutes.

Miller’s Merry Manor fits residents coming directly from hospital discharge who need structured short-term rehabilitation, as well as families seeking long-term or memory care placement, with current bed availability in rural Marshall County.

1 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +27% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	43m per day	▲ 8% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	59m per day	▲ 27% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 25m per day	▲ 7% State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 39m per day	▲ 13% State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	1m per day	▼ 71% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	30m per day	▲ 11% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
