Located in North Vernon, Indiana, Majestic Care of North Vernon is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation community that operates in partnership with Daviess County Hospital and is administered by Daniel Kern. The 120-bed community on Henry Street is in a moderately walkable area, so some daily errands can be completed on foot.

The community provides a broad range of post-acute and rehabilitation services. Skilled nursing care is supported by on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Residents can also participate in aquatic therapy as they recover from surgery, stroke, or other health conditions that require rehabilitation. Behavioral health services are available for those with specialized mental health needs. There’s also a secured memory neighborhood with Alzheimer’s support services for residents experiencing cognitive decline.
Additional specialty programs include dialysis care. The facility also provides Home Health services, pediatric care, and child care on-site due to its hospital-affiliated model. Through these programs, the community can support residents with a wide variety of clinical and rehabilitation needs.
Daily nurse staffing averages 2 hours and 44 minutes per resident. Registered nurses provide about 20 minutes of care per resident each day, while nurse aides contribute approximately 2 hours and 3 minutes of personal care.
State inspections have identified concerns related to medication management, infection control, food safety, and staff licensure compliance. Families touring the facility should ask leadership about these areas and the steps being taken to address inspection findings. The community is entering its second year of operation. It’s refining procedures and implementing improvements based on those reviews.
