Majestic Care of Bedford is a 190-bed skilled nursing facility in Bedford, Indiana, serving residents in Lawrence County. Occupancy has risen from roughly 30 percent in early 2023 to 55 percent in the latest inspection, trending upward. The facility offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and respite care with 24-hour staffing. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay accepted.
All four CMS sub-ratings fall below Indiana average, producing a 1-star overall rating. Nurse hours of 2h 42m per resident day sit 23 percent below state average, below the national 3.0-hour threshold generally considered a minimum floor, ranking the facility 254th out of 287 Indiana SNFs. Over three years on file, the facility averaged 10.3 deficiencies per year against Indiana’s 4.2 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions, and most complaint investigations returning unsubstantiated. The deficiency record is concentrated in documentation failures rather than direct resident harm: transfer and discharge written notice requirements were cited in every annual survey in the window, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and range of motion decline deficiencies appeared in both the 2023 and 2024 surveys. Life safety surveys have cited sprinkler system maintenance and emergency preparedness documentation gaps in 2023, 2024, and 2025. One substantiated complaint in October 2023 found residents using e-cigarettes without safety assessments or care plans and identified unsanitary shower rooms.
The facility’s size of 190 beds, the largest in this batch, orients it toward Lawrence County residents requiring long-term skilled nursing or post-acute rehabilitation where immediate bed availability is a priority.
Majestic Care of Bedford is legally operated by Columbus Regional Hospital, and administered by Scott Swaby.
