Overview of The Waters of Castleton Skilled Nursing Facility
The Waters of Castleton Skilled Nursing Facility is a 114-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community in Indianapolis, Indiana, offering short- and long-term rehabilitation, memory care, and respite services. It is operated by The Waters of Castleton Skilled Nursing Facility LLC and has been operating for approximately 20 years. It accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay.
CMS rates the facility 2 stars overall, driven primarily by 1-star Health Inspection and 1-star Staffing ratings, both of which are substantially below the Indiana average. Nurse staffing averages 2 hours and 24 minutes per resident per day, compared with the state’s average of 3 hours and 32 minutes, placing the facility 276th out of 287 Indiana SNFs on adjusted staffing.
The inspection record reflects significant compliance challenges: back-to-back 2023 surveys cited 14 deficiencies in resident care — including substantiated findings of verbal and sexual abuse, medication errors, and grievance-handling failures — as well as 18 life safety code violations. The 2024 annual survey added 8 more deficiencies, including 12 days without required RN coverage. Early 2025 complaint investigations cited 9 further deficiencies related to dignity, wound care documentation, and medication management. The most recent inspection in May 2025 found full compliance. No fines or immediate jeopardy findings appear in the available records.
Quality measures are a counterpoint. The facility’s 4-star Quality Measures rating is 23.5% above the Indiana average, reflecting stronger performance on clinical outcome indicators such as hospital readmissions and functional improvement. Clinical programs include Memory Springs for dementia care, Comprehensive Wound Care, and Respiratory Services, as well as the rehabilitation tracks Living Well and In Motion.
The facility’s occupancy rate of 46% — well below the state’s 68% average — indicates that most room types are currently available.
The Waters of Castleton Skilled Nursing Facility is best suited to residents in Indianapolis who require short- or long-term skilled nursing and post-acute rehabilitation, particularly those whose care needs align with its capacity for wound care and respiratory services. However, families should carefully review the facility’s staffing levels and inspection history before making a placement decision.

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Indiana Medicaid cover assisted living?
Indiana Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Indiana) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
