Majestic Care of Sheridan is an 80-bed skilled nursing facility offering memory care, respite stays, and 24-hour staffing in Sheridan, Hamilton County, Indiana. The community specializes in behavioral health services alongside short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. It welcomes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
The 5-star CMS overall rating, 66.1 percent above Indiana’s average, is fueled by a health inspection sub-rating 46.5 percent above state benchmark and Quality Measures 23.5 percent above average. Staffing runs counter to that picture: nurse hours of 2h 50m per resident day sit 20 percent below Indiana’s average, placing the facility 240th among 287 state SNFs, with 5 of 6 staffing metrics below the state benchmark. Occupancy has held at or near 100 percent throughout the inspection window, well above Indiana’s 68.1 percent average. Over four years on file, the facility averaged 11.5 deficiencies per year against Indiana’s 4.2 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions, and every complaint investigation returning unsubstantiated. Deficiencies have concentrated almost entirely in life safety, fire alarm maintenance, generator documentation, exit discharge conditions, and sprinkler system inspections, rather than resident care. The most substantive clinical findings were a March 2024 medication administration practice citation and a three-item April 2025 annual survey covering an ombudsman notification gap and vital sign parameter compliance. All life safety deficiencies corrected on revisit.
The facility’s behavioral health specialization and near-full occupancy align it toward Hamilton County residents needing long-term skilled nursing with behavioral health programming, particularly those with complex psychosocial needs.
Majestic Care of Sheridan is legally operated by Daviess County Hospital, and administered by Lauren Kirkwood.
