Under Adam Strickland’s administration, Heritage Center is a 172-bed nursing home that Pulaski Memorial Hospital operates in Evansville, Indiana. Situated on Buena Vista Road in a single-story building, it has been serving the area for 46 years and currently maintains an occupancy rate of around 75 percent. The home offers flexible housing in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, which allows families some choice in residential arrangements. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted to give families multiple ways to arrange skilled nursing care coverage.

Combining the work of registered nurses, nursing aides, and licensed practical nurses, daily nursing care averages 3 hours 46 minutes per resident. The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 25, so some nearby services are walkable, with most trips needing a car

State inspections have assessed Heritage Center’s compliance with Life Safety Code and Emergency Preparedness protocols. Earlier survey periods noted concerns in pressure ulcer prevention, fall prevention, feeding tube care and labeling, and abuse reporting procedures.
