Brickyard Healthcare – Muncie Care Center is a 117-bed skilled nursing facility at 2701 Lyn-Mar Drive in Muncie, Indiana. Operated by Muncie Operating LLC under county authority, the community is led by administrator Kaushik Patel and Director of Nursing Tiffany Davis. The facility serves a high-census population where 70% of residents utilize Medicaid for long-term care.
The facility provides 24-hour medical oversight but carries a 1-star overall CMS rating, reflecting performance significantly below Indiana averages. While the most recent June 2025 revisit resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, the historical record since 2022 includes 47 deficiencies and $22,000 in federal penalties for past abuse-reporting failures. Occupancy remains robust at 82%, and the center operates as a governmental community legally associated with Hendricks County Hospital.
Bedside support averages 3 hours and 39 minutes per resident daily, though the facility relies on agency contractors for nearly 24% of its staffing hours. Clinical records from 2023 through May 2025 highlight recurring themes in catheter care, medication reconciliation, and fall intervention protocols. Long-stay data shows strengths in pressure ulcer prevention, yet resident antipsychotic use and depressive symptoms remain higher than state norms. Functional recovery for short-stay residents currently trails Indiana averages, indicating challenges in successful community transitions.
The facility offers a residential setting with private and semi-private rooms, managed by an active resident and family council. Services include 24-hour nursing, dietitian-approved meals, and social programming. The community’s $13.6 million revenue supports local Delaware County residents requiring complex long-term care within a government-operated framework.
Those seeking a Medicaid-dominant environment in Delaware County should weigh the facility’s complex regulatory history against its current capacity and staff stability. Potential residents should discuss current infection control, abuse prevention, and medication management protocols with the administrator to assess 2026 performance.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

This home is ranked 86th out of 287 homes in Indiana. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 32m per day | ▼ 20% 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.
| 1h 2m per day | ▲ 35% 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 19m per day | ■ Avg 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 28m per day | ▲ 7% 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.
| 4m per day | ■ Avg 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.
| 20m per day | ▼ 26% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on June 20, 2025, found the facility in compliance with no deficiencies noted. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care issues, including medication management, catheter care, and infection control, as well as life safety code violations such as exit door accessibility and corridor obstructions. Several complaint investigations substantiated deficiencies involving medication administration errors, failure to prevent abuse, and inadequate supervision, though many complaints were found unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions included staff suspensions and corrective plans, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed many prior deficiencies, as the most recent inspection was clean following a period of mixed findings.
